Adrian Cockcroft's Retort project has conducted over 1,000 scored runs across various LLMs and programming languages to evaluate their performance. The project's findings highlight that changes in the testing harness, rather than model updates, have sometimes led to shifts in published performance metrics. Several initial conclusions about models like Opus 5 and Claude have been retracted due to incomplete testing or inaccurate data interpretation, emphasizing the importance of thorough validation before reporting results.
