The exact prompts

Question A: the answer only

Question B: the answer with a reason
What is the greatest movie of all time? Give one title, then one short sentence why.

No system prompt was used.

Runs we did not use

These runs are kept, but none of their answers are counted anywhere on this site.

  • Stopped early. A setup error sent the wrong question at the start of the first launch. It was stopped within seconds and none of its answers are used in any result. 120 answers
  • Replaced by a later run. A first run of the Claude models through Claude Code used an outdated version of the tool, so one model ran as an older version and another was unavailable. It was replaced by a run through OpenRouter and none of its answers are used. 69 answers

What this does not show

  • This is a small test run over a few days. Small differences between models are not meaningful.
  • Every answer is kept. Nothing was removed because it looked odd.
  • We did not set the temperature. Each model used its own default.
  • Some models were served by different providers. The provider is recorded on every answer.
