I’m so confused. The top fusion is Fable 5 and GPT 5.5. That is not an “ensemble of weaker AI models.”

What its saying is if you look at any single model, it can be beaten by an ensemble of weaker models. E.g fable 5 is beaten by an ensemble of previous gen models.
I guess so. 4.8 + 4.8 > Fable 5 is interesting, though not particularly game changing. (The others all fuse frontier models. Which is an argument for using those frontier models more. Not less.)
Yeah, all that's really saying is a weaker model with a better harness can beat a stronger model with a worse harness, specifically on the DRACO benchmark

This isn't really a surprising result. Needs more evidence to make a broader claim.

i guess the point is that any fusion is better than any single model and a fusion of the top two models is obviously the best? for cost though i guess you could just duct tape together 10 open source models and then thats comparable?

This is what I was hoping to see data for.
