The passage around this formula
with weights , reasoning effort e , prompt and decoding configuration , evaluation harness , serving stack , and date t . A published number fixes s and usually reports only part of and t . The system is underdetermined : many configurations produce the same score, and the same configuration produces different scores on different dates.
