Wow - interesting how strong the differences are!

What seems missing: I can not see the answer from the different models. One have to rely on the "correctness" score.

Another minor thing: the scoring seems hardcoded to: 50% correctness, 30% cost, 20% latency - which is OK, but in my case i care more about correctness and latency I don't care.
