PINNACLE benchmark measures real multi-step agentic job completion, tracks fabrication and per-task cost

Signal65 launched PINNACLE, an independent enterprise AI benchmark measuring real multi-step agentic job completion (correct work), not just tokens or synthetic scores.
Key points:
- Tests both open-weight models (runnable on your own GPUs) and closed APIs, comparing clean vs messy data conditions
- Tracks fabrication and prices each correct task, surfacing true per-task cost
- The author argues that amid debate over open models relying on distillation from frontier labs, objective data on their actual enterprise utility and costs just gained much higher stakes
