The written cemetery

Every grave, in plain sight.

53 graves. Each one was, for a while, the best thing anyone had ever used. Below them, 6 benchmarks that died the other way round: solved.

A model is buried once, under the name people say out loud, and every date here is the one its provider published — cited on the grave. Retired snapshot ids redirect to the model that absorbed them.

The benchmarkskilled by being solved

A benchmark gets no deprecation notice, so every date here is our editorial judgment. Each grave shows the frontier that buried it, and the evidence.
