Methodology
AI Environments
Models, grounded search and consumer surfaces. Vorentus observes each class separately because they are not methodologically equivalent.
Why the classification exists
A memory-only model answer and a grounded-search answer are produced under different conditions and answer different questions. Combining them into one number implies an equivalence that does not exist.
Vorentus records the environment, the model actually served, the grounding mode, the access mode and the repetition count with every observation, and reports grounded observations separately from memory-only observations.
