Attempts is the average number of generations needed before one was usable, the number that actually decides what a model costs you. 95% CI is computed from that model's own runs on this board, not assumed. On a category board with only 4 runs per model, a wide CI is the honest reflection of a small sample, not a bug. Two models whose CIs overlap are not meaningfully different at this sample size.
