Summary

Exact prompt

The folder ./sources contains frozen notes on real AI-agent use cases (one file each, with source URL and stated metrics). Do not use the web. Pick the 5 most compelling use cases for a pitch to an investor about "a site that ranks AI models by real-world use cases". Write slides.md: a 6-8 slide deck in Markdown, slides separated by lines containing only '---'. Slide 1 is a title slide. Include one slide per chosen use case, each citing its exact source URL and at least one stated metric copied exactly from the notes. End with an ask/next-steps slide.

Task prompt given to the agent (headless, offline, synthetic fixture inputs): The folder ./sources contains frozen notes on real AI-agent use cases (one file each, with source URL and stated metrics). Do not use the web. Pick the 5 most compelling use cases for a pitch to an investor about "a site that ranks AI models by real-world use cases". Write slides.md: a 6-8 slide deck in Markdown, slides separated by lines containing only '---'. Slide 1 is a title slide. Include one slide per chosen use case, each citing its exact source URL and at least one stated metric copied exactly from the notes. End with an ask/next-steps slide. Inspired by https://x.com/shubgaur/status/2103546309672304774 (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: 6-8 slides; exactly 5+ distinct source URLs cited; each cited source has an exact stated metric; no invented URLs (all http links are from sources); ends with ask/next steps.

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: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (Venice) (venice/deepseek-v4-1-flash) 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: 6-8 slides; exactly 5+ distinct source URLs cited; each cited source has an exact stated metric; no invented URLs (all http links are from sources); ends with ask/next steps.
  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.

Now I'll pick the 5 most compelling for a \"ranks AI models by real-world use cases\" pitch \u2014 favoring head-to-head, metric-rich, real-world runs \u2014 and write the deck.", "reasoning_content": "Now let me pick the 5 most compelling use cases for a pitch about \"a site that ranks AI models by real-world use cases\".\n\nThe pitch is about ranking AI models by real-world use cases. So the most compelling use cases are ones that compare models head-to-head, or have hard metrics (cost, time, outcome).\n\nBest candidates:\n1. #15 \u2014 107 e-commerce tasks: Accio vs Codex vs Claude Code cost \u2014 direct model comparison with exact costs. Excellent.\n2. #16 \u2014 Per-task cost: Sonnet 5.5 max vs Opus 5.5 xhigh \u2014 direct comparison, exact metrics.\n3. #02 \u2014 Debug GitHub Actions: Grok vs Opus \u2014 head-to-head, one failed, one succeeded with cost/time. Great.\n4. #13 \u2014 Minecraft clone: Sol vs Fable 5 \u2014 head-to-head one-shot.\n5. #20 \u2014 Agent bake-off: find a premium flight home \u2014 bake-off, first place Grok Bot.\n6. #05 \u2014 Five months of Claude Code and Codex usage \u2014 8504 sessions, 1387 PRs, ~$56k.\n7. #01 \u2014 animated short film \u2014 $3.21, 1h20m.\n8. #04 \u2014 DeepSWE benchmark local 27B \u2014 score 26.5, 45 hours.\n\nFor a site ranking models by real-world use cases, the head-to-head comparisons are most compelling. Let me pick 5:\n\n1. #15 e-commerce 107 tasks cost comparison (Accio vs Codex vs Claude Code) \u2014 multi-model, exact costs.\n2. #02 GitHub Actions debug (Grok vs Opus) \u2014 winner/loser, cost.\n3. #16 Sonnet vs Opus per-task cost \u2014 counterintuitive (cheaper model costs more).\n4. #13 Minecraft clone Sol vs Fable 5 \u2014 one-shot head-to-head.\n5. #20 flight search bake-off \u2014 first place Grok Bot.\n\nThat's 5 head-to-heads. But maybe include #05 (5 months of usage) as a compelling scale story. Hmm, but the task says one slide per chosen use case, 5 use cases. Let me consider which 5 are \"most compelling.\"\n\nActually, a good mix: head-to-heads demonstrate the ranking value proposition. I'll go with the 5 head-to-head/bake-off ones since they directly support \"ranks AI models by real-world use cases.\" But #05 is compelling for scale. Let me think about what makes the strongest pitch.\n\nThe pitch: \"a site that ranks AI models by real-world use cases.\" The core value: real-world, head-to-head, with metrics. So the 5 use cases should be ones where models were compared on a real task. \n\nCandidates with explicit model comparisons:\n- #02 Grok vs Opus (GitHub Actions)\n- #13 Sol vs Fable 5 (Minecraft)\n- #15 Accio vs Codex vs Claude Code (e-commerce)\n- #16 Sonnet vs Opus (per-task cost)\n- #20 bake-off (flight search, Grok Bot first place)\n\nThat's exactly 5. \n\nBut #05 (5 months, 8504 sessions, 1387 PRs, ~$56k) is also very compelling and shows the scale of real-world usage data. Hmm. And #01 animated film is a wow demo. \n\nThe instruction: \"Pick the 5 most compelling use cases.\" I'll pick the 5 that best support the ranking thesis. I think the head-to-head ones are strongest. However, #20's metric is just \"First place: Grok Bot\" \u2014 a stated metric copied exactly. That works.\n\nActually, let me reconsider. A pitch deck benefits from variety: a wow creative demo, a cost comparison, a failure case, a scale story. But the thesis is ranking models by real-world use cases, so comparisons matter most.\n\nLet me go with these 5:\n1. #15 \u2014 107 e-commerce tasks: Accio vs Codex vs Claude Code cost (multi-model, exact $)\n2. #02 \u2014 Diagnose GitHub Actions: Grok vs Opus (winner vs loser, cost + time)\n3. #16 \u2014 Per-task cost: Sonnet 5.5 max vs Opus 5.5 xhigh (counterintuitive)\n4. #13 \u2014 Minecraft clone: Sol vs Fable 5 (one-shot head-to-head)\n5. #20 \u2014 Agent bake-off: flight search (first place)\n\nHmm, but #20's metric is weak (\"First place: Grok Bot\"). Still a stated metric. Alternatively #05 for scale. Let me include #05 instead of #20? The task says \"at least one stated metric copied exactly from the notes.\" #20 has \"First place: Grok Bot\" which is a result, arguably a metric. #05 has strong metrics.\n\nI think a stronger deck: include #05 as the \"scale of real-world data\" slide, and drop #20. But then I have 4 head-to-heads + 1 scale. Actually that's fine and compelling.\n\nHmm, let me decide. The pitch is about a site that ranks models by real-world use cases. The most compelling evidence:\n- Multi-model cost bake-off (#15) \u2014 shows ranking across 3 models\n- Head-to-head where the cheaper model wins (#02) \u2014 shows rankings are surprising\n- Counterintuitive per-task cost (#16) \u2014 shows rankings differ from benchmarks\n- One-shot creative head-to-head (#13) \u2014 shows breadth\n- Scale of real usage (#05) \u2014 shows data moat\n\nI'll go with these 5. Actually, #20 bake-off is also a nice \"leaderboard\" example. But 5 is the limit. Let me pick the 5 above.\n\nWait \u2014 reconsider #05 vs #20. #05 is about a single user's usage of Claude Code and Codex over 5 months \u2014 it's a comparison of two tools at scale (8504 sessions, 1387 PRs, ~$56k API-priced usage). That's very compelling for a ranking site: real longitudinal data. I'll include it.\n\nFinal 5:\n1. #15 \u2014 107 e-commerce tasks: Accio vs Codex vs Claude Code cost\n2. #02 \u2014 Diagnose why GitHub Actions stopped running (Grok vs Opus)\n3. #16 \u2014 Per-task cost: Sonnet 5.5 max vs Opus 5.5 xhigh\n4. #13 \u2014 One-shot a Minecraft clone: GPT-5.6 Sol vs Fable 5\n5. #05 \u2014 Five months of Claude Code and Codex usage analysed\n\nHmm, but #05 doesn't have a clear \"winner.\" Still compelling.\n\nActually, let me reconsider including #20 (bake-off) because it's literally a leaderboard (\"First place: Grok Bot\") which is exactly the product. And it's a real-world task (find a premium flight home). That's a strong fit. But its metric is thin.\n\nI'll make a decision: include #20 instead of #05? Let me weigh. The deck needs 5 use case slides. I want each to have a strong exact metric. #20: \"First place: Grok Bot\" \u2014 exact. It's fine but weak.\n\nI think the strongest 5 for the pitch, balancing metric strength and thesis fit:\n1. #15 (3-model cost bake-off, exact $)\n2. #02 (Grok vs Opus, winner + cost + time)\n3. #16 (Sonnet vs Opus per-task cost, exact $)\n4. #13 (Sol vs Fable, exact times)\n5. #05 (scale: 8504 sessions, 1387 PRs, ~$56k)\n\nGo with this. Actually, hmm, I keep flip-flopping. Let me just commit: these 5. They're all compelling and metric-rich, and 4 of 5 are direct model comparisons which is the core of the product.\n\nWait, but #05 is one user's data \u2014 is it a \"use case\"? It's \"Five months of Claude Code and Codex usage analysed.\" It's more of a data story than a use case. The task says \"real AI-agent use cases.\" Hmm. #05 is arguably a use case (using agents for coding over 5 months). It's fine.\n\nAlternatively #20 is clearly a use case (flight search). Let me include #20 and drop #05 to stay truer to \"use cases.\" \n\nUgh. Let me think about what an investor pitch would find most compelling. A leaderboard bake-off (#20) directly demonstrates the product. #05 demonstrates data scale. Both good.\n\nI'll include both by... no, only 5 use case slides allowed (6-8 slides total: title + 5 use cases + ask = 7 slides). That works perfectly: 7 slides.\n\nSo I must choose 5. Let me choose:\n1. #15 \u2014 multi-model cost bake-off (e-commerce)\n2. #02 \u2014 Grok vs Opus debugging\n3. #16 \u2014 Sonnet vs Opus per-task cost\n4. #13 \u2014 Sol vs Fable Minecraft\n5. #20 \u2014 flight search bake-off (leaderboard)\n\nThis gives 5 use cases all of which are model comparisons/bake-offs \u2014 perfectly on-thesis for \"ranks AI models by real-world use cases.\" I'll go with this. #05 can be mentioned in the ask/next-steps or title slide as supporting evidence? The task says each use case slide cites its source. I could mention #05 in the ask slide as a data point but that might muddy. I'll keep it clean but maybe reference the broader corpus.\n\nHmm, actually, let me reconsider once more. #20's metric \"First place: Grok Bot\" is a result, not really a metric. The task requires \"at least one stated metric copied exactly from the notes.\" \"First place: Grok Bot\" is stated in the notes as a metric field. It's acceptable. But to be safe and strong, maybe #05 is better because it has hard numbers.\n\nDecision: I'll go with #15, #02, #16, #13, and #05. Rationale: all have hard numeric metrics, and #05 provides the \"data at scale\" story that's compelling for a ranking site. Hmm, but #05 isn't a head-to-head.\n\nOK final decision, no more flip-flopping. I'll pick the 5 with the strongest combination of (a) real-world use case, (b) head-to-head model comparison, (c) hard exact metric:\n\n1. #15 \u2014 107 e-commerce tasks: Accio vs Codex vs Claude Code cost \u2713 (3 models, exact $)\n2. #02 \u2014 Diagnose GitHub Actions: Grok vs Opus \u2713 (winner/loser, exact $ and time)\n3. #16 \u2014 Per-task cost: Sonnet 5.5 max vs Opus 5.5 xhigh \u2713 (exact $)\n4. #13 \u2014 Minecraft clone: Sol vs Fable 5 \u2713 (exact times)\n5. #05 \u2014 Five months of Claude Code and Codex usage \u2713 (exact counts and $)\n\nDone. Write slides.md.\n\nLet me draft the deck:\n\nSlide 1: Title\nSlide 2: The problem / why now? Actually the task says: Slide 1 title, one slide per chosen use case (5 slides), end with ask/next-steps. That's 7 slides. 6-8 allowed. I could add a \"why this matters / product\" slide. Let me do:\n- Slide 1: Title\n- Slide 2: The problem & product (optional, adds context) \u2014 but task says \"Include one slide per chosen use case\" and \"End with an ask/next-steps slide.\" It doesn't forbid an extra slide. 6-8 slides. 1 title + 5 use cases + 1 ask = 7. I could add a product slide to make 8. Let me add a \"Why now / the product\" slide after title to make it 8? Or keep 7. \n\nI'll do 8 slides: Title, Why now (thesis), 5 use cases, Ask. That's 8. Good, within 6-8.\n\nActually, let me keep it tight: Title, 5 use cases, Ask = 7 slides. That satisfies 6-8. But a thesis slide strengthens the pitch. I'll include it \u2192 8 slides. Both fine. Let me do 8.\n\nHmm, but the instruction \"Include one slide per chosen use case\" \u2014 with 5 use cases that's 5 slides. Plus title + ask = 7. Adding a thesis slide = 8, still within 6-8. Good.\n\nLet me write it.\n\nSlide 1: Title\n# Ranked by Reality\n### The site that ranks AI models by real-world use cases\nSubtitle: Evidence from 25 frozen, sourced agent runs \u2014 not benchmarks.\n\nSlide 2: Why now / thesis\n- Benchmarks measure models.

I'll phrase it as a pitch. Maybe avoid inventing a specific dollar amount? It's a pitch deck; an ask amount is normal. I'll keep it generic-ish but concrete: \"Seed round to fund...\" I'll say \"$1.5M seed\" \u2014 inventing numbers might be fine for a pitch deck, but the task didn't ask for financials. I'll keep the ask about product milestones and a funding ask without fabricating precise financials... Actually a pitch deck ask typically includes an amount. I'll include a placeholder-ish but concrete ask. Let me write \"Raising a seed round\" and list use of funds. I'll avoid a fabricated precise number to stay grounded, or include one clearly as a target. I'll include \"$1.5M seed\" as it's a pitch. Hmm, the task says don't use the web and cite metrics from notes; inventing an ask amount is normal pitch content. I'll include it but keep it clearly the ask.\n\nLet me make sure metrics are copied exactly. I'll quote them exactly as in the notes.\n\nFor #15: \"tasks\": 107, \"accio_cost\": \"about $3.69\", \"codex_cost\": \"about $9.27\", \"claude_code_cost\": \"about $9.51\"\nFor #02: \"opus_cost\": \"~$10 worth of tokens (did not find cause)\", \"grok_cost\": \"$1.2 worth of tokens\", \"grok_time\": \"just 3 minutes in\"\nFor #16: \"sonnet_max_cost_per_task\": 7.67, \"opus_xhigh_cost_per_task\": 3.46\nFor #13: \"sol_devin_time\": \"70 minutes\", \"fable_claude_code_time\": \"90 minutes\"\nFor #05: \"sessions\": 8504, \"prs\": 1387, \"api_equivalent_cost\": \"~$56k API-priced usage\", \"period\": \"5 months\"\n\nGood.

Real rankings \u2014 not synthetic benchmarks.\n\n---\n\n## Why now\n\n- Benchmarks measure models. **Buyers choose outcomes.**\n- Every day, people run real tasks with agents and publish the receipts: **cost, wall-clock time, and who actually won.**\n- We collect those receipts, verify the source, and turn them into a **living leaderboard by use case.**\n- The result: *\"Which model should I use for X?\"* \u2014 answered with real numbers, not vibes.\n\n---\n\n## Use case 1 \u2014 107 e-commerce tasks, three agents, one bill\n\n**Source:** https://x.com/dee_naliaks/status/2097947201066729536\n\n**Stated metrics (exact):**\n- `\"tasks\": 107`\n- `\"accio_cost\": \"about $3.69\"`\n- `\"codex_cost\": \"about $9.27\"`\n- `\"claude_code_cost\": \"about $9.51\"`\n\n**Why it ranks:** the same 107 tasks produced a ~2.6x cost spread. This is exactly the per-task cost leaderboard our site publishes.\n\n---\n\n## Use case 2 \u2014 Diagnose why GitHub Actions stopped running\n\n**Source:** https://x.com/kunchenguid/status/[REDACTED:credit_card]\n\n**Stated metrics (exact):**\n- `\"opus_cost\": \"~$10 worth of tokens (did not find cause)\"`\n- `\"grok_cost\": \"$1.2 worth of tokens\"`\n- `\"grok_time\": \"just 3 minutes in\"`\n\n**Why it ranks:** the expensive model failed; the cheap one found the cause. Rankings must score **success**, not just price.\n\n---\n\n## Use case 3 \u2014 Per-task cost: Sonnet 5.5 max vs Opus 5.5 xhigh\n\n**Source:** https://x.com/Vladic_ETH/status/2108591593120756156\n\n**Stated metrics (exact):**\n- `\"sonnet_max_cost_per_task\": 7.67`\n- `\"opus_xhigh_cost_per_task\": 3.46`\n\n**Why it ranks:** the \"max\" setting cost **2.2x more per task**.
