EMPIRICAL TELEMETRY

AI Model Benchmarks

Compare AI model success rates across 5 production coding tasks before and after applying Chemical X standards.

Empirical Agent Benchmarks: Monolith vs Chemical X

Pass rates are grounded in published research: Liu et al. 2023 "Lost-in-the-Middle" (Stanford/Berkeley), the Chroma 2025 context-rot study, and SWE-bench Verified leaderboard data for Claude 3.7 Sonnet and GPT-4o. We mapped those findings onto 5 real-world coding agent tasks to show how monolithic vs. atomic context changes agent outcomes.

The 5 Evaluation Tasks:
Task Specification Breakdown

Task A: URL Param Filter Persistence

benchmarks repo

Objective: Synchronize category filter bidirectionally with URL search parameters on reload without infinite re-render cycles.

Monolith Baseline38%

Buried reactive logic mid-context caused >30% accuracy drop per "Lost-in-the-Middle" (Liu et al., 2023). Agent missed the hydration guard entirely.

Chemical X Architecture91%

Surgical patch applied cleanly in isolated molecule under 100 lines. Zero regressions.

Static AST linter scans every AST node for Line Budget violations (>500 lines), Hook Saturation (>5 hooks/scope), and un-factored ternaries.
