WHY WE PICKED IT
The Chartography gap over Opus 5 and Fable 5, this site's own leaderboard leaders, is large enough to be worth flagging even though it's a single Sakana-run benchmark. It's a real signal that learned orchestration over open models can compete with frontier closed models on specific task types, not a general claim that it beats them everywhere.
