14-day rolling experience

Each daily point summarizes the previous 14 complete UTC days. The dashed line is the fixed release baseline; the verdict still uses independent non-overlapping 14-day segments.

What explains the change

Experience change and discussion-mix change are separated. These are observational contributions, not proof of cause.

No category has enough samples in both windows for a contribution conclusion.

Category Baseline → current Category change Weight share Experience contribution Discussion-mix contribution
Coding not enough datan=0 → 101
Image / vision not enough datan=0 → 5
Local deploy not enough datan=0 → 23
Reasoning not enough datan=0 → 188
Roleplay / creative not enough datan=0 → 11
Safety & refusals not enough datan=0 → 15
Speed & latency not enough datan=0 → 102
General text not enough datan=0 → 307

Lifecycle scores use the same experience-signal weights as the main index, without sample shrinkage after n=30. They measure public user perception, not model capability or backend causes.
