Livenerf tracks frontier-model quality drift from launch-day baselines

github.com 12 min read Editor score 7/10

Livenerf freezes prompts, graders and CLI versions, preserves raw logs, and measures drift statistically across thousands of samples. A durable baseline could help engineers distinguish real model changes from anecdotal reports of regression.

What: Livenerf is an append-only benchmark designed to detect whether a frontier model gets worse after release.
How: It holds prompts, CLI, and graders fixed, retains raw logs, and measures drift statistically across daily samples under a pre-registered protocol.
Why it matters: A launch-day baseline and repeatable measurements can help engineers distinguish model-quality changes from noise.

Livenerf runs fixed prompts through a pinned CLI and graders, then uses retained logs to measure drift. Sketched from the article's own text.
