signal path of one layer, generated from the registry's structured fields — dimension lines quote the model's real numbers; an MoE trace forks at the router, a dense trace runs straight through. Geometry fields come from the repo's config.json.
# why ranked
Overall: #64 — score 40.1 ● high — all signals present
| signal | weight | input (0–100) |
|---|---|---|
| aa_intelligence | 0.70 | 37.8 |
| bench_composite | 0.30 | 45.3 |
benchmark panel evidence:
| complete panel | score (0–100) |
|---|---|
| aa-coding-v1 | 36.6 |
| aime-2025-v1 | 54.0 |
Coding: provisional — score 26.5 ● low — a single signal; treat with caution
provisional: too few independent signals for a numbered position — the score is shown, but this model sorts after every ranked model.
| signal | weight | input (0–100) |
