That graph has to be made because an Exec didn't like that graph went down to the right instead of up and to the right. How do you make a graph with 0 on the far right and counts up by going left of 0? What number line is that?

For what it's worth the source of the data[0] does have 3.7 flash with all 3 reasoning levels. 3.5/3.6 are in fact just the single points though (high reasoning). The datapoint in the announcement screenshot is either med or high, but they're pretty much exactly the same so can't say for certain.

Competitors release multpile models and their curves reflect reasoning effort of each single model.

Gemini doesn't have adjustable reasoning effort (at least on the graph) so each of its curves is just one point.
