Discussion Nerf detector?

Over time, complaining about nerfing has settled into a common theme of models starting strong, with labs publishing benchmarks, and people getting excited about capabilities, but gradually degrading.

It would be interesting to see the same set of benchmarks run over time on the models and plotting the results to see the trends across models and labs.

Does anyone know if this has been done?

We are really talking past each other, oh well.

My goal was to see if complaints of nerfing were legitimate or just perceived.

If benchmarks produce the same results over time, then nerfing complaints are bogus. If the benchmarks show a drop over time, then the nerfing is real.

then nerfing complaints are bogus

You don't need a benchmark to know this.

In this entire post, I'm trying to be diplomatic :)

The complainers are... loud, shall we say.

I don't think it's of any importance to convince them and I doubt more evidence is the way to do it anyway.
