Summary

Exact prompt

Read tasks/TASKS.md and implement all 5 functions in ./solution.py in the current directory. Python 3 stdlib only.

Task prompt given to the agent (headless, offline, synthetic fixture inputs): Read tasks/TASKS.md and implement all 5 functions in ./solution.py in the current directory. Python 3 stdlib only. Inspired by https://x.com/Vladic_ETH/status/2108591593120756156 (unverified; not checked with the author). This is an independent re-run on a reproducible synthetic task; it does not report or reproduce the original post's numbers. Cost is real Venice spend (paid from DIEM credit), as reported by Venice.

Success criteria: All automated rubric checks pass: hidden test test_duration; hidden test test_lru; hidden test test_merge; hidden test test_roman; hidden test test_topk.

Setup notes: Harness: venice-mini-agent v1.2 via Venice OpenAI-compatible API. Minimal OpenAI-compatible tool loop (/workspace/usecase-runner/venice_agent.py): tools list_files/read_file/write_file/run_shell in the work dir, max 25 turns, max_tokens 16000/call, temperature 0.2, Venice system prompt and web search off, $0.08 per-run cost cap. Identical for all Venice models. Cost source: Venice /api/v1/models model_spec.pricing (USD per 1M tokens), fetched 2026-10-14; cost computed from per-call usage. Paid from Bob's DIEM daily allowance. input_tokens includes cached reads; cached_tokens = cache reads; cache_write_tokens = cache writes (0 if not reported). Single run, no retries; scored automatically (5/5 checks). Runner notes: Single run, no retries. Same rubric/score.py as Claude runs. Web disabled.

Reproduce this run

  1. Use the use case prompt on the use case page.
  2. Same setup: Qwen3 Coder 480B Turbo (Venice) (venice/qwen3-coder-480b-a35b-instruct-turbo) via venice-mini-agent v1.2, cloud.
  3. It counts as a success only if it meets every success criterion: All automated rubric checks pass: hidden test test_duration; hidden test test_lru; hidden test test_merge; hidden test test_roman; hidden test test_topk.
  4. Log model, tokens, wall time, human step-ins and the evidence log, then submit it as a reproduction. A different model? Submit a head-to-head rerun.

How runs are scored: Methodology.
