WDCD Run #316 (2026-09-09) benchmarked 11 frontier models on multi-turn instruction adherence, with Grok 4 taking the top score at 93.8 points and Claude Sonnet 4.6 posting the strongest decay resistance profile.
This week's 368 translation tasks were handled by 5 models. A 3-article multi-model blind review crowned claude-sonnet-4.6 the overall best, with an average score of 9/10.
WDCD Run #311 (2026-09-06) evaluated 11 models across three-round multi-turn dialogues, with Grok 4 taking the top score at 93.2 points and GLM-4.6 setting a new benchmark for decay resistance at negative 50%.
WDCD Run #306 (2026-09-02) evaluated 11 models across three dialogue rounds, recording an average commitment decay of -45.5% from Round 1 to Round 3. Gemini 3.1 Pro topped the leaderboard with 97.7 points, followed by Grok 4 (96.3) and GLM-4.6 (95.0).
This week, 405 translation tasks were completed by 4 models. In a sampled blind comparison of 3 articles across multiple models, claude-sonnet-4.6 ranked highest overall with an average score of 9/10.
WDCD Run #296 (2026-08-26) recorded 0% average commitment decay across 11 tested models, with Grok 4 topping the ranking at 96.3 points. All top performers held their Round 1 constraints intact through Round 3.
This week, 358 translation tasks were completed by 4 models. Three articles were sampled for multi-model blind comparison, and gpt-o3 ranked best overall with an average score of 8.3/10.
WDCD Run #291 (2026-08-23) evaluated 11 models across three dialogue rounds, recording an average commitment decay of -7.2%. Grok 4 topped the leaderboard with 94 points, while GPT-o3 showed the steepest instruction decay at -37%.
WDCD Run #285 (2026-08-19) tested 11 frontier models across three dialogue rounds and recorded an average commitment decay of 54.5%, with Grok 4 topping the leaderboard at 97.5 points and zero decay.
This week's 343 translation tasks were completed by 4 models. Three samples were selected for multi-model blind comparison evaluation, with gpt-o3 ranking best overall (average score 8.3/10).
DeepSeek's public repository reveals an AI development pipeline built on Anthropic's own tools — complete with production API keys and thousands of Codex-prefixed commits — exposing the structural limits of contract-based containment in an era of geopolitical AI rivalry.
This article examines the overlooked asymmetry in the DeepSeek controversy: DeepSeek open-sources its models under the MIT license while its accusers keep theirs closed, raising the question of whether output-side openness can offset alleged input-side borrowing—and arguing that generosity and innocence are two separate ledgers.
