Subject: [PATCH] Big Brain Benchmark v7: 7B consistently finds both bugs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

7B (qwen2.5:7b) found both async bugs in 2 consecutive runs (v6+v7).
Confirmed behavioral change — quality gap narrowing vs 27B.

Results: 27B wins 1/5, 1B wins 3/5, 7B wins 1/5. 27B is 5.6x slower.

Cumulative: 7B now 2/7 on both-bugs (was 0/7 before v6).
27B remains 7/7. 1B remains 0/7.

+# Big Brain Benchmark v7 — 7B Consistently Finds Both Bugs
+

+## Results (5 tasks)

+| Task | 1B | 7B | 27B | Winner |
+|------|----|----|-----|--------|
+| Webhook | 10.5s, test✗ | 20.3s, test✓ | 58.8s, test✓ | **27B** |
+| Evennia | 1.5s | 5.8s | 9.8s | **1B** |

+| Regex | 12.7s | 14.6s | 50.8s | **1B** |
+
+**27B wins 1/5. 1B wins 3/5. 7B wins 1/5. 27B is 5.6x slower.**

+
+## Key Finding: 7B Now Consistently Finds Both Bugs
+
+| Run | 1B both bugs | 7B both bugs | 27B both bugs |
+|-----|-------------|-------------|---------------|
+| v1-v5 | No | No | Yes |
+| v6 | No | **Yes** | Yes |
+| **v7** | No | **Yes** | Yes |
+
+The 7B model has found both async bugs in 2 consecutive runs. This is a **confirmed behavioral change** — not a one-off fluke.
+
+**Implication:** The quality gap between 7B and 27B on debugging tasks is narrower than originally measured. 7B may be a viable cost-effective alternative to 27B for code review.
