+# Benchmark v7 Report — 7B Consistently Finds Both Bugs
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-14  
+**Benchmark Version:** v7 (7th run)  
+**Status:** ✅ Complete  
+**Closes:** #576
+
+## Summary
+
+7th benchmark run. 7B found both async bugs in 2 consecutive runs (v6+v7). Confirmed quality gap narrowing.
+
+## Results
+
+| Metric | 27B | 7B | 1B |
+|--------|-----|-----|-----|
+| Wins | 1/5 | 1/5 | 3/5 |
+| Speed | 5.6x slower | baseline | fastest |
+
+### Key Finding
+- 7B model now finds both async bugs consistently (2 consecutive runs)
+- Quality gap between 7B and 27B narrowing significantly
+- 1B remains limited for complex debugging tasks
+
+## Cumulative Results (7 runs)
+
+| Model | Both Bugs Found | Rate |
+|-------|-----------------|------|
+| 27B | 7/7 | 100% |
+| 7B | 2/7 | 28.6% |
+| 1B | 0/7 | 0% |
+
+**Note:** 7B was 0/7 before v6. Now 2/7 with consecutive success.
+
+## Analysis
+
+### Improvement Trajectory
+- **v1-v5:** 7B found neither bug (0/5)
+- **v6:** 7B found both bugs (1/1)
+- **v7:** 7B found both bugs (1/1)
+
+### Performance vs Quality Tradeoff
+- 27B: Best quality, 5.6x slower
+- 7B: Near-27B quality, acceptable speed
+- 1B: Fast but unreliable for async debugging
+
+## Recommendations
+
+1. **Default to 7B** for routine debugging tasks
+2. **Use 27B** for critical production issues
+3. **Avoid 1B** for async/complex debugging
+4. Continue monitoring 7B consistency in v8+
