The decision-model study.

Ten real tasks. Five models. Compare their decisions, time, and cost.

Check a grounded answer

Which replies add claims their source does not support?

6 replies per modelHuman annotations. Same records for every metric.

Human annotations. Agreement with original human labels on this small sample.

100¢ = $1. Billed retries included. One timing trial.How to read these results

Jev6 of 6 reference matches.
Inspect Jev’s quality0 disagreements

Human-label agreement. 6 of 6 accepted references matched.

No disagreements in the reviewed sample. Open all records to inspect the evidence.

Scoring details

True positives 3. True negatives 3. False positives 0. False negatives 0. Precision 100%. Recall 100%.

Evidence for this test

Six complete short source/response pairs from RAGTruth test split, selected before study-model execution with three annotated errors and three unannotated responses. Original human annotations are preserved. A tiny length-selected sample is not a population-level accuracy estimate.

Time and cost across all 26 presets

168 recorded decisions per model. Billed retries included. Quality stays task-specific; no overall percentage combines these different checks.

What these results can tell you.

A small, inspectable pilot

840 recorded decisions across 10 tasks. Each preset uses the same sampled records for all five models. Every replay uses saved outputs; its animation is deliberately paced for reading.

How we check correctness

Quality is scored per task: exact rules and fixtures, original RAGTruth human annotations, or two blind AI reviewers. AI-reference agreement is provisional. Ads use a stated persona rubric, not real customer preferences.

Measured bills and timing

Reported API usage totals $0.476921. Unsettled or in-flight requests retain a separate $0.025000 accounting reserve. It is excluded from the billed-cost comparison. 3 failed attempts in 843 requests (0.36%). Retried billed calls remain included.

How the comparison was run

All models received the same source text and task. Jev and Clef used native decision endpoints. Luna and Opus used structured JSON outputs. The pilot used a fixed 0.5 threshold and a common bounded input size. Scores are not assumed calibrated. RAGTruth retains its upstream test split. Other records are a feasibility sample. Broader independent labels, effective-context boundary probes and repeated timing trials remain pending.

Every comparison column uses the selected task and preset. All-test totals sum only workloads completed by all five models with identical record IDs, including billed failed attempts. The original four feed batches include response parsing and local recording. The resumed Opus feed sums response durations and excludes the manual pause and disk writes. Expanded batches sum request-start through parsed-response durations. Luna uses reasoning off after one output-budget failure; earlier batches used its default. Opus uses mandatory default reasoning. These are single serialized trials, not a throughput benchmark or a robust speed ranking.
