You're making an even less charitable set of assumptions:

1). I'm incompetent enough to ignore publicly available table benchmarks.

2). I'm incompetent enough to never look at poor quality data.

3). I'm incompetent enough to not create a validation dataset for all models that were available.

Needless to say you're wrong on all three.

My day rate is $400 + taxes per hour if you want to be run through each point and why VLMs like Gemini fail spectacularly and unpredictably when left to their own devices.

whoa, this is a really aggressive response. No one is calling you incompetent rather criticizing your assumptions.

Great, thanks for sharing.
