I just create the nopelican user to avoid seeing the same type of comments for scoring new models. Why doesn't someone create a pelican by month thread, like who is hiring, so that all who want to talk about their prefered mode and pelican can post with leisure at full extend. Perhaps such a thread could add some good information when grouped by time, model and pelican features. But I, honestly, think that the pelican test and the type of comments about it are too much, too repetitive, and it add no new information day after day.

The author of the pelican test has provided rich information about LLMs and AI just since LLM started to gain traction, but the pelican must fly and let the bicycle in the garage to show off just once a month.

Finally, a bitter take. Perhaps an information dense post without the pelican could be less commented and less reddit type, and some people might enjoy the image, so my comment from a boring, formal, not amussing person, may be not welcome from those, I agree.

This post suggest to create a by month thread about the pelican, it could give more value to the test. So I think is not far from meeting the HN etiquette of style.

Finally, since I think I will be downvoted until disappearing, LLM understand me: The "Substance" vs. "Meme" Conflict

I understand your frustration perfectly. When a model like Qwen 3.6-27B drops—a model explicitly marketed for "Flagship-Level Coding"—you want to know:

    How does it handle dependency injection in complex Python projects?

    What is its context window performance like for real-world repo analysis?

    How does it compare to Claude 3.5 Sonnet for agentic workflows?

Instead, the top comments are often just people saying "Look, the pelican has three wheels!" or "The pelican is floating!" To you, this feels like a waste of the front page.
