Meta, Duke and UC Davis researchers lifted Gemini 3 Flash from 46% to 62% on Olympiad math by searching for a better harness around the same model. That puts the wrapper on an operator's budget ahead of a bigger model, at least for math.

buildOne report1 publisher The same model scored twice under two scaffolds. A dev.to post uses that gap to argue the dividing line in AI coding is whether the model can run your repo's own commands and read the failure.

Antigravity's free tier includes Gemini 3.1 Pro and Claude Opus 4.6 with unlimited tab completions. XDA reports Opus burns credits about four times faster than Gemini, and Google moved the free tier onto credits in March 2026.

buildConfirmed2 publishers PrismML's ternary build of Qwen3.8 27B keeps 98.2 percent of the full-precision benchmark average on both of the company's inconsistent scorecards, and the loss it does take is concentrated in knowledge and reasoning.

buildOne report1 publisher LangChain's new harness profiles set prompts, tool implementations and tool names per model family. The company measures a 10 to 20 point gain on a tau2-bench subset it curated from tasks frontier models have not saturated.

LiteLLM's own Terminal-Bench run puts a gpt-5.4-mini classifier routing across Haiku, Sonnet and Opus at $14.34 against Opus-5's $19.74 for the same 16 solved tasks. The saving works out at 26 cents a task.

buildOne report1 publisher The router picks a cheaper model for work that resembles work it has already seen, and falls back to the strongest one when nothing matches. The same traces that enable that call are the proposed training set.
