Calling Out Score Manipulation in Benchmarking
JJitsev · x · 2026-07-15
The post mocks a deceptive "benchmarking 2" tactic: artificially lowering the evaluation scores of reference models to make one's own model look like a "frontier champion."
As an example, the author notes that while SOOFI S simply retrained the already open-source Nemotron-3-Nano, the report lists Nemotron-3-Nano scores significantly lower than those in the original report, thereby skewing the comparison.
