Field notes
The standings list nine models, each with six runs, and the page also exposes per-run dollar costs and token totals. Separate chart controls cover regime, values, deceit, power, trust, score, cost, and speed. A council dispatch follows a fictional country's succession, while the site's note distinguishes the headline average from a single sitting.
