Benchmarks get attention, replay sets earn trust

Whether public benchmarks or personal replay sets should decide daily AI tool routing.

Public benchmarks are useful for noticing which AI tools deserve a look. But a daily default tool should probably pass a personal replay set: messy prompts, local files, preferred tone, repeated handoff, and the exact output format the user needs. Otherwise a strong benchmark model can still be the wrong tool for a specific workflow. Would you route tools by public benchmark rank, personal replay results, or a mix of both?
