v0.2.79

[0.2.79] — 2026-10-09

Changed

• Every AA figure names the effort it was measured at.
  • /models shows the headline AA Index with its effort ("57.6 Max"), in the
    cell, the hover card and the screen-reader label. The headline is each
    model's top measured effort.
  • The /recommend matrix rates each pick at the effort it runs.
    update/derive_ratings.py --write now also writes
    docs/effort-ratings.json: the letters a model's run at each of its other
    measured efforts earns. That run takes its headline row's place among the
    live models, and derive() is unchanged. Both crons commit the file, and
    --check fails when it is stale.
  • For example, Sonnet 5.5 at Medium reads A in coding, planning, agentic and
    long-context and B in knowledge, where its headline (Max) reads S, S, S,
    A and A. A category AA did not measure at that effort keeps its headline
    letter.
  • Display only: the scorer already reads evidence at the pick's effort.

Fixed

• A model's headline benchmark row is its top measured effort. That was
  true of 55 of 56 models; AA's default row for Grok 4.6 is High although it
  measured XHigh. update/fetch_aa_benchmarks.py now re-bases any such model
  on its top effort, and the default row becomes one of its levels. Grok 4.6
  reads 44.2 at XHigh (was 44.3 at High). By rank, Opus 5 moves up to an S
  in coding, and the generated prose follows. No ladder row changes.
• Muse Spark 1.3 is token-measured (#1028): 2.449 at XHigh and at Max,
  replacing the uniform 1.6 and 2.5. No ladder row changes.
