Waking up to see my GPT-6 Astra benchmark, across every single effort level with @VulcanBench is done. This took ~12 hours to run, and still left me with 12% of my weekly usage from one $100/mo Max subscription. My Fable 5.1 benchmark took over 45 hours hours to run and required three $200/mo subscriptions + $200 in additional usage credits, for a total of $800 to run. I am reviewing all of the results now because I'm honestly so shocked at the difference here, I need to do a deep dive and really make sure everything ran as I expected. More to come.
