I don't think it even matters. Because noone will continue to use an LLM that doesn't work well for them, whether or not it has a good bench result. So for their own sake, the correct representation can actually win them some loyalty:
eg. Model X is weaker than Fable, but competes well with Opus/Sonnet and costs 1/5th as much etc - something similar playing out with Grok 4.5.
