Model quality signals

Where public proof is strongest.

Social proof, not benchmark score
ThemeReadEvidenceWatch

Coding agents

Best signal

Claude Code, longer tasks, tests, migrations, UI builds.

Needs more before and after proof.

Visual work

Most shareable

Games, browser demos, and Pokemon-style clips explain the model quickly.

Fun demos are not repeatability.

Long context

Promising

People talk about bigger context and longer autonomous sessions.

Most posts claim more than they prove.

Restrictions

Risk

A few high-reach posts say the model blocks or reroutes too much.

Restrictions can outweigh benchmark wins.

Friction

What could slow adoption.

Negative volume is small. The complaints are simple and memorable.

Limits

Easy to remember when hit early.

Pricing

Credits and access need plainer language.

Restrictions

Refusals read as quality problems.

Proof gap

Demos are strong. Case studies are thin.
