LLM evaluation suite loses effectiveness as most test cases stop discriminating

An analysis of an LLM evaluation suite revealed that a significant portion of its test cases have become ineffective over time. Out of 528 cases with sufficient version history, 356 consistently passed across all tested versions, and 59 consistently failed, indicating they provided no discriminating power. Only 113 cases, representing 21% of the judged set, actually varied between versions, suggesting that the suite's ability to detect regressions has diminished as bugs were fixed and not reintroduced.
