Where this comes from
Every score names who ran it: vendor-reported, maintainer-run or independent. A rank is shown with the population it was ranked in (gap rule 3).
Lineage
successor
Gemini 3.8 Flash is the parent (successor)medium confidencenotesWhere this comes from
Parent and child relations from model cards, Hugging Face base_model fields and the genealogy tables of the research notes. The tree shows two generations each way, 3 models. Confidence and evidence are the notes' own.
