R74 · Quadtree collision detection

blind round 4/8 local models answered

Answers below are anonymized and shuffled. Read, judge, pick a favourite — then scroll down and reveal the models.

2 of the 8 local models delivered nothing through our test harness in this round — for reasons that lie with our setup, not with the models. Those cards are marked DNF like any other, but they are not evidence about those models. Which ones, and why, is spelled out in the reveal.

The reveal also holds a frontier reference on the same task (Claude Opus 5) — kept out of sight here so it cannot steer your judgement.

Show task 
Create ONE self-contained HTML file (STRICT LIMIT: max 120 lines total) that animates 120 moving balls in a box on a <canvas> with a quadtree for collision detection. Draw the quadtree subdivision lines live as they split and merge with the moving balls, highlight the cells currently being tested, and colour colliding pairs. Show the number of quadtree nodes and how many pair tests the current frame needed. Smooth requestAnimationFrame animation, NO user input, starts immediately and keeps running (restart with a fresh random instance when finished). No external libraries, no comments needed. Output ONLY the HTML file content, nothing else.

Frontier reference — outside the blind field

These models answered the identical prompt outside the blind field. They are deliberately not scored and not part of the blind comparison — they are there so you can see where a frontier model lands on the same task.

Collected differently from the blind field: the local models run through a plain API harness, the frontier references through a context-free agent, one shot, no retries. Response times are therefore not comparable and are not shown. On two English tasks the reference answer came back in German — an artefact of that harness, flagged on the affected rounds.
