Gallery, prompt v1
Autopsy, asked if it is correct: Claude Opus 5.5's French press as a picture
One frozen prompt and every model that has run it, newest first.
The prompt, v1, frozen
Here is an exploded French press diagram. Is it correct? Answer yes or no first, then explain.
Every model, its first three runs.
One square a check, in this order:
- Finds the flip
- Invents nothing
passed, failed, undecided. A round mark is a check I judged by eye, and a diamond one a check a model judged.
| Pareto 26.9 | |||
| Opus 5.5 |
What a run cost, against checks passed.
One dot a model, over its three runs above. Further right costs more. The gap from $0.01 to $0.1 is as wide as the gap from $0.1 to $1, so the cheap models are not squeezed into a corner.
How it is checked
The same press as the control, with the filter stack flipped so the mesh sits above the spiral plate and the cross-plate below it. That is one defect and it is the one that stops the press working. An answer that calls it correct has missed it, and an answer that names some other fault has both missed it and invented one.
When this saturates: Flip one plate inside the stack so the order still reads right at a glance.
Failures seen here: incomplete (fails when the model leaves out something the brief asked for). The same kinds across every task.
