~anthropic/claude-sonnet-latest · winner B · 6:4 · permalink

Side B is a focused, well-tested algorithmic improvement to pair selection with clear tie-break logic and multiple new unit tests validating the new behavior, entirely within the core ranking domain. Side A is a large sprawling feature (Reddit entity import refactor) that touches many files, adds env-var complexity and a bash/clojure integration test, but is noisier and less self-contained, making its lasting design value harder to assess despite covering more surface area.

~x-ai/grok-latest · winner A · 2:1 · permalink

A lands lasting architecture: full Reddit payloads as EntityImported events with entity_raw + derived views, explicit fetch UI (no auto-fetch on browse), configurable API bases, and an end-to-end mock import test. B improves pair selection (attach isolates before isolate–isolate, then zip adjacent ranks) with solid unit tests, but it refines one ranking heuristic rather than the data/import model.

openai/gpt-chat-latest · winner A · 3:2 · permalink

Side A introduces substantial new functionality and architectural improvements: it replaces automatic Reddit fetching with explicit user-triggered imports, persists full upstream payloads as replayable EntityImported events, stores raw entity data alongside derived views, adds configurable API/OAuth endpoints, dotenv loading, and corresponding integration/tests. Side B meaningfully improves the vote-pair selection heuristic by prioritizing component attachment and adjacent-rank refinement with good test coverage, but its impact is limited to algorithmic scheduling within an existing feature rather than adding durable infrastructure and persistence capabilities.

[5db58b98] Improve vote pair selection for spanning trees and rank refinement.

Prefer attaching unranked items to established components before comparing
isolates, then zip down adjacent rank-centrality pairs once the pool is fully
connected, skipping pairs that already have votes.
