opus-4.6 vs gemini-3-pro-preview
Both models ran the same corpus under the same verifier — cursor and gemini respectively. The harness differs where the names differ, and that is part of what separates them.
Their confidence intervals overlap. On this corpus the difference of 19.5 points is not resolved — treat these two as tied.
