How we got to tier B
- Adoption: 16 models scored. Tier B.
- On X: unclear, none buzz No move.
- In curated RL directories: 1 point, a floor of none.
- Confirmed: a line from its own site or paper places it.
A clear view on X moves a tier one step up or down; most entries don't move. How tiers work.
