TrueEval - Cooldown period for model releases

Add a cooldown to model releases and show only reproducible task-level results

Problem

Within an hour of any new model release, extreme takes appear online calling it an industry embarrassment or the best thing ever, but few actually tested it. Developers complain that people blindly trust easily manipulated benchmarks instead of reliable hands-on results.

Solution

A lightweight platform that only accepts reproducible task-level results, each with prompts, environment versions, raw outputs, and verification scripts. After a release, all results enter a 48-hour cooldown where no overall ranking is shown, only task-level raw performance, steering discussion from opinion battles back to verifiable facts.

Users

AI application developers, tech-stack decision makers, and engineers tired of marketing narratives who care about real model behavior

MVP

Ship 20-30 common tasks (code, retrieval, reasoning, multilingual); require verification scripts with submissions; show only raw task outputs during cooldown; filter by task type; provide one-click reproduction commands

Revenue

Free browsing, registration for submissions; team plan with private eval sets; paid pinning for verified reproducible submissions

Why now

Model release cadence keeps accelerating while benchmark credibility keeps dropping. Developers need a public reference that ignores vendor scores and shows only task-level results, and this niche community-plus-tools play is ideal for indie developers.
