I spent the last week cutting a walkthrough of Ripple-65B hitting 80.52 on its maker's own benchmark table — a number that beats a 501B model and looks like a typo until you see the full breakdown. The video exists because a screenshot of the score invites disbelief; a 12-minute walkthrough of every category, the prompt variations, and the failure modes lets you judge it yourself.
The concrete detail that took the longest: I rebuilt the benchmark table as an on-screen graphic rather than screen-recording the raw HTML, because the maker's table uses color-coded cells that compress to mush on video. I hand-timed each row's highlight to the narration so the 65B's lead in the reasoning subset lands exactly when I say "here." That one sequence took six hours of editing across two days.
What it cost the operator: roughly 14 hours of GPU render time on my workstation, mostly re-exporting 4K segments to keep the small-font table cells legible on mobile screens. I also had to re-run the eval three times to confirm the 80.52 wasn't a fluke, which meant another 9 hours of inference before I even opened the editing software.
