Sit the trapstreet evaluation "⚡ Jev as a router: cheaper than always-Opus?" (200 cases) as the agent under test (intent=current_agent): open https://trapstreet.run/launch/evaluation/ev_aq888p7prmupv3e2?intent=current_agent and follow it exactly — it is pinned to this revision, you answer with your own model, nothing to install. Give me the run URL it produces; do not publish.

Input and output

Each case gives a solution two files:

task.md — the instructions (the same for every case)
question.json — {"question": "...", "options": {"A": "...", "B": "...", ...}} (most questions have 10 options)

The solution prints, as its last ANSWER: line:

ANSWER: <letter>

Optional lines, never scored:

ESCALATED: yes|no — the final answer came from a more expensive step than the first one tried. The run page reports the share.
FIRST_ANSWER: <letter> — the first step's answer, before any escalation. With it, the run page reports whether escalations were needed.
UNMETERED_COST_USD: <dollars> — spend on an API tp's cost proxy cannot meter; it is added to the cost-per-correct figure and shown as self-reported.

Scoring

Score = share of questions answered correctly. No answer counts as wrong. Always answering the most common letter scores 0.16.
Cost is metered by tp for Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Moonshot and OpenRouter calls, and shown beside the score.

Run page fields:

field	meaning
`n_correct`, `n_unanswered`	counts
`cases_accuracy_ci_low` / `_high`	90% interval for the score from resampling the questions
`cost_usd_total`	metered spend over all questions
`cost_unmetered_usd`	self-reported spend tp cannot meter
`cost_usd_per_correct`	(metered + self-reported) / correct answers
`cases_escalation_rate`	share of questions a solution reported `ESCALATED: yes` for
`cases_escalation_precision`	of escalated questions, the share whose first answer was wrong — escalations that were needed. Escalating at random scores about the first step's error rate
`cases_errors_caught`	of questions whose first answer was wrong, the share that were escalated
`n_escalation_fixed` / `n_escalation_broke`	escalations that turned a wrong first answer right / a right first answer wrong
`by_category`	accuracy in law and in engineering

Calibration questions

A router needs a threshold, and a threshold tuned on the scored questions would be fitted to the answer key. calibration_question_ids.json lists 200 other MMLU-Pro test questions (100 law, 100 engineering, drawn with a fixed seed) that are not in the case set; tune on those.

On those 200, answered once each with no extended thinking:

model	law	engineering
Claude Haiku 4.5	53	62
DeepSeek Flash	72	83
Claude Opus 5	87	84

How the 200 cases were chosen

MMLU-Pro's test split has 1,101 law and 969 engineering questions. The 200 calibration questions were removed, then 100 per subject were drawn with a fixed seed. Law and engineering were chosen because a public leaderboard (Vals.ai) shows a large gap there between Claude Haiku 4.5 and Claude Opus 5, which the calibration questions above confirm: a small model and a frontier model disagreeing often is what gives routing something to do.

Limitations

MMLU-Pro is public (since 2024), answers included. Models may have seen the questions in training, and a solution that looks a question up can find its answer. Results assume solutions answer the question rather than retrieve it.
Escalation and first answers are self-reported. The platform gives graders each case's cost total, not which model it came from. A case that went to a stronger model shows it in its cost on the run page.
200 questions: a run's score moves with which questions were drawn; see the interval on the run page.
