"Basalt Labs" pulling a generationally dumb scam. Incredibly stupid lmao. Claiming 99.44% on HLE with tools. Model they released is based on Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct and the model they're serving on their website is DeepSeek.

Explain Like I'm Normal

Basalt Labs claimed a near-perfect score on the Difficulty-Hard LLM Benchmark (HLE), but researchers quickly discovered the company was allegedly just proxying DeepSeek's API and wrapping old Qwen models. The community audit revealed that the claimed 'breakthrough' was likely a blatant attempt to farm hype through fraudulent benchmark results.
