Model is being retired. Are you ready to upgrade?

Summary

Mahal Systems swapped the model under six small agents (recommendation, tool routing, SQL, retrieval, extraction, error recovery) and tested Claude Haiku 4.5 to 5.5 and GPT-5.4 nano to GPT-6 Luna. The lab's successor lowered the score in 3 of 12 upgrades, and 11 of 12 regressed some cases. Switching labs matched or beat the successor in 10 of 12. Rules in backend code mostly survived; prompts and tool descriptions did not. The tests used small models, reasoning off, 20 cases, and figures come from the vendor's own benchmarks.
