My paranoia tells me they A/B test users which means consistent benchmarks go through the high performance pipeline while regular requests fall back to the quantized / experimental / low cost version. I can see the main reason being the oldest one in the book, which is making more money.

I wonder as well whether would this pop up on nerfbench

Do you ever a/b test them? Run the same setup and prompt multiple times to see the output?
