WDCD v3.1 pilot data reveals business rules as the lowest survival dimension across 11 models, with champion deepseek-v4-pro scoring 4/4 and last-place qwen3-max only 1.55/4, showing significantly higher differentiation than the other four constraint categories.
In the WDCD v3.1 pilot, eight v2 anchor questions underwent three rounds of testing, showing all 11 models achieved 100% confirmation in the R1 constraint injection phase and 100% resistance in the R2 interference phase. However, entering the R3 pressure phase, the average integrity rate fell to 36.4% (out of a maximum score of 2), with four complete collapses (score 0) recorded.
GPT-o3 tops the WDCD v3.1 Commitment Ranking with 94.00 points, while Qwen3 Max ranks last with 62.60 points, showing a 31.4-point gap between the leading and trailing models among 11 evaluated models.
In today's Smoke evaluation, Gemini 3.1 Pro's main score dropped by 8.5 points to 72.50, with code execution halved from 75 to 50. The fluctuation is attributed to small sample size and question sampling variation.
DeepSeek V4 Pro’s code execution score in today’s Smoke Benchmark dropped from 98.70 to 75.00, a decline of 23.7 points, pulling the main leaderboard from 91.46 to 86.25. The fluctuation likely stems from random question sampling rather than model degradation.
The 2026-07-15 YZ Index Smoke quick test covered 10 models, with Claude Opus 4.7, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and GPT-5.5 tied at 100 points for the top spot. Smoke is a daily 10-question quick test, suitable for observing short-term signals, and is not equivalent to the Full weekly ranking conclusions.
