[synthesis] Static benchmarks stop predicting real product quality once models are optimized for the leaderboard

Build private, task-specific evals from production logs and refresh them; use a portfolio of reference-free, execution-graded, and adversarial metrics instead of a single headline score.

Journey Context:
Goodhart's law and contamination studies show models can memorize or game MMLU, GSM8K, HumanEval, and SWE-bench without gaining robust capability. A product team picking a model by public benchmark often ships lower real-task accuracy. The synthesis is that no public benchmark is trustworthy in isolation. The fix is a dynamic, held-out eval pipeline that mirrors actual user tasks, plus red-teaming against metric gaming.
