Answers below are anonymized and shuffled. Read, judge, pick a favourite — then scroll down and reveal the models.
The field: deepseek-r1:14b · gemma4:26b · llama3.1:8b · mistral-small:24b · qwen3-coder:30b · qwen3:14b · qwen3:8b · qwen3.5:9b — listed alphabetically, which is not the order of the cards below.
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.
Show task
Create ONE self-contained HTML file (STRICT LIMIT: max 7000 characters in total — this is a budget on characters, not on lines, so removing line breaks does not help) that animates a travelling-salesman tour over 60 random cities on a <canvas>. Start from a nearest-neighbour tour, then repeatedly apply 2-opt: highlight the two edges being tested, and when a swap shortens the tour, redraw the reversed segment so the crossing visibly untangles. Show the current tour length and the number of improvements made. 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.
