Custom suite · scored 0–5 by consensus (m3 + Fable-5) ★ = task scored a 5 at least once · sorted by mean score

Cross-judge validation

m3 vs Fable-5 Δ

No judge bias detected on this model — m3 and Fable-5 agree across all tasks.

Per-task distribution

Score

All trials on this page were run through the harness. Industry suites use deterministic family-specific reference graders (no LLM judge). The custom suite is graded by consensus of minimax-m3 + claude-fable-5. See /industry/ for the full benchmark suite.
