The same tasks were run using Claude Opus 4.7 as the comparison baseline. The three workflows: scaffolding an entry for an active Kaggle competition, drafting and auditing knowledge-base notes for my Obsidian vault, and updating an old PyTorch project that became outdated.

If it's a different kind of thing, our entire evaluation infrastructure breaks silently. I think this is the most important unsolved problem in how we understand LLMs. And I think the answer is…
