Why it’s minor
Response time is how long an answer takes to arrive, and it rises and falls with the network and how busy the provider is. So an unusual time is worth a look but says little about the model itself.
The full answers
Each answer as the API returned it, with its Markdown rendered for reading. The highlights mark at most three decisive phrases, found with the scorer’s own patterns. Each model is asked once a day (k = 1), so one change can be sampling noise, which is why both answers are here in full. How scoring works.
