Is it any good?
Effectiveness · benchmark pending
We haven't benchmarked Consensus yet, so its score is provisional — computed from safety, maintenance, and documentation only, with popularity given no weight. When we benchmark it, we measure whether it produces materially better output than a frontier model alone, and that result leads the score. How we measure.
