Hub remaps to top Meta vs top Anthropic Elo. Usually Maverick vs Opus 5.
Apr 2026. The Llama vs Claude hub uses the top Meta Elo row — usually Maverick.
2025-03 row. 3.x Pro replaced it. Kept for old “2.5 pro vs gpt-4o” inbound.
Dec 2024 instruct 70B. Still a self-host baseline. Llama 4 is the 2026 buy.
