I’m struggling with MRF. Model Release Fatigue. It’s a syndrome of constantly context switching new large models. Claude 4, gpt, llama, Gemini 2.5, pro-mini, mistrial.

I fire off the ide switch the model and think oh great this is better. I switch to something that worked before and man, this sucks now.

Now just make a chatbot for each model and then compete them all against each other in the ultimate showdown.

Winner gets your attention for a week.

I believe perfs of previous versions are worse because providers reallocate resources to newer versions. Also because of training data cut-off to previous years. This is what happened between claude sonnet 3.5 and 3.7.

Personally I only use Claude/Anthropic and ignore other providers because I understand it the more. It's smart enough, I rarely need the latest greatest.

Why do you even follow? Just stick to one that works well for you?

is anyone doing online reviews of model performance ? (I know artificial analysis does some work on infrastructure and has an intelligence index)

The aggregate picture only tells you so much.

Sites like simonwillison.net/2025/jul/ and channels like https://www.youtube.com/@aiexplained-official also cover new model releases pretty quickly for some "out of the box thinking/reasoning" evaluations.

For me and my usage I can really only tell if I start using the new model for tasks I actually use them for.

My personal benchmark andrew.ginns.uk/merbench has full code and data on GitHub if you want a staring point!

What a luxury!

One way to avoid this: stick with one LLM and bet on the company behind it (meaning, over time, they’ll always have the best offering). I’ve bet on OpenAI. Others can make different conclusions.

Totally, I feel like though you do have to pay some attention for example in the context I'm working on, for the last while, Gemini was our gold standard for code generation whereas today, Claude subjectively produces the better results. Sure you can stick to what worked abut then you're missing the opportunity to be more productive or less busy, whichever one you choose.
