Custom AI Benchmarks: What to Verify Before Betting Your Automation Budget

When public benchmarks lie, your automation budget pays Many teams report the same disappointment: a model tops a public leaderboard, you deploy it, and production reveals slower responses, more retries, and unexpected human editing. Public benchmarks like GLUE or MMLU are useful for measuring progress, but they were not built to predict how a model […]

PerceptionBench: Multimodal AI Fails Basic Visual Perception — Top Models Below 60%

TL;DR, Don’t hand the camera feed to a model and call it a day When a multimodal model confidently says there are three apples in a bowl that contains none, it is not being cheeky. It is failing at the basic task of reading a picture. Moonshot AI’s PerceptionBench separates visual perception from reasoning and […]
