Convergent 3.0: Basis = original task set, Bonus = new 3.0 tasks of the same difficulty. Bonus, HCE and HTML results for models other than Cobalt-1 are still pending. Stentor-30M, smollerLM-48M and tiny-random-gpt2 are open models from Hugging Face, shown for comparison. Every score is the best of 10 runs per benchmark: run 1 is greedy (temperature 0), runs 2 to 10 sample at temperature 0.7 with different seeds. Validation loss and parameters are measured once. Quasar 1.3 uses the original weights of Ministral 3 14B by Mistral AI with the Quasar system prompt; its scores are from a single run (marked "1 run"), Humanity's Current Exam is still missing.
