No model fully solved my personal toy benchmark in 10 out of 10 runs until September. Now 4 models make easy work of it...
what??

[Dustin Lakin @dustinlakin]

And the price change is maybe even more insane. The first full solve in April cost $768 (Opus 4.7), then $365 a week later (GPT-5.5). GPT-6.1 Sol now does it for $3.18 and solves every run. 241x cheaper.

@syhw Dark Age of Camelot was such a fun era for me.

@wwwjim Thanks man! Hope you are well. I have been enjoying all your game exploration!

[Dustin Lakin @dustinlakin]

I turned the game I've been building into an eval...

Designing the engine around seeded, deterministic fights, with talents and skill rotations to optimize, made it a fun sandbox to test models in. So I spent entirely too much time building an interactive look at both the experiment and the results.

[VALORANT Champions Tour @ValorantEsports]

We want our fans to have a clear grasp on our esport, so we’re announcing some important changes to https://t.co/0X7R2CrMdu.

Starting now fans can explore the new "events" experience, which contains a “League Handbook” and other relevant event information that gives fans a view into the overall season structure, event qualification, and what's at stake for each split and international tournament.

We’ll be bringing some fresh updates to Standings very soon to accompany this new experience. Stay tuned!
