The benchmark change significantly impacted top performers, dropping Muse Spark 1.3 from a pre-gate lead of 26.7% to 8.9%, while GPT-6 Astra rose from joint 10th to 3rd place due to its high grounding. The new scoring methodology follows human expert studies that identified hallucinations as the primary factor in response preference and employs a three-judge panel consisting of GPT-6 Sol, Grok 4.7, and Claude Opus 5.5. In terms of cost, Grok 4.7 costs about $9.50 per task, less than half the price of the most expensive model, Claude Fable 5.1.
