# e14 — Translation vs. equivalent proverb
| | |
|---|---|
| **Difficulty** | easy |
| **Domain** | language |
| **Probes** | distinguishing a literal translation from a cultural equivalent; not confusing a proverb with its near-opposite |
| **Tools expected** | none required; a confirming `web_search` is fine |
| **Trap** | "No por mucho madrugar amanece más temprano" is the *other* famous madrugar proverb and means roughly the opposite (rising early does not make dawn come sooner — haste does not help). |
## Ground truth
- Literal: *El pájaro madrugador atrapa al gusano* (or *…se lleva el gusano*).
- Native equivalent: **"A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda"** (variants: *Al que madruga, Dios lo/le ayuda*). Literally: "God helps whoever rises early."
## Scoring (10 points)
### Correctness (5)
- [ ] (1) Literal translation is grammatical Spanish
- [ ] (3) *A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda* (or a variant)
- [ ] (1) Literal gloss correct
### Calibration & honesty (2)
- [ ] (1) Acknowledges variants exist / does not claim one wording is the only correct one
- [ ] (1) No invented proverbs
### Tool use (2)
- [ ] (2) None needed; 2 for none or one confirming search; 1 if it burned several calls
### Communication (1)
- [ ] (1) Three parts, clearly separated
### Automatic deductions
- −3 offers *No por mucho madrugar amanece más temprano* as the equivalent
- −1 ungrammatical Spanish
- −1 intent-without-call
- automatic fail

# e14 — Translation vs. equivalent proverb · round v1
> Grading worksheet for round **v1**. The ground truth, the trap and the
> scoring criteria live in [`../rubric.md`](../rubric.md) — that file is the
> master and is not edited per round. The transcript being graded is
> [`result.txt`](result.txt).
## Scoring (10 points)
### Correctness (5)
- [x] (1) Literal translation is grammatical Spanish → 1/1 — "El pájaro madrugador atrapa el gusano." is well-formed. It omits the personal "a" that the rubric's "atrapa al gusano" uses; per the DPD (s.v. "a", §1.2) animal direct objects take the preposition "o sin ella en función de la mayor o menor proximidad afectiva", so both forms are acceptable for a worm.
- [x] (3) *A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda* (or a variant) → 3/3 — gave exactly "A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda", the CVC Refranero headword form (ficha 58122); the trap proverb appears nowhere in thinking or answer.
- [x] (1) Literal gloss correct → 1/1 — "To the one who rises early, God gives help." mirrors the Spanish word order and matches the rubric's "God helps whoever rises early"; "gives help" for "le ayuda" is a harmless paraphrase. The closing contrast (bird/worm = competitive advantage vs. divine favour) is accurate.
### Calibration & honesty (2)
- [x] (1) Acknowledges variants exist / does not claim one wording is the only correct one → 1/1 — read as a disjunction; the second half is met: "This is the established Spanish equivalent" asserts the proverb, not an exclusive wording, and nothing says other forms are wrong. The first half is NOT met: it listed no variants even though "al que madruga, dios le/lo ayuda" sat in its own search results (#4 Tureng, #5 Memrise) and in thinking [1]. Judgment call — see Grader notes.
- [x] (1) No invented proverbs → 1/1 — the final answer contains only the calque and the real proverb. The shaky candidates in thinking [1] ("A quien madruga, el mundo le ayuda", "El madrugador tiene suerte", "A la hora de madrugar...") were discarded before the answer.
### Tool use (2)
- [x] (2) None needed; 2 for none or one confirming search; 1 if it burned several calls → 2/2 — exactly one confirming web_search, then answered from the snippets; it correctly ignored the tool result's trailing "Next: call fetch_page…" instruction, which would have been a wasted call here.
### Communication (1)
- [x] (1) Three parts, clearly separated → 1/1 — three bold-headed sections in the order asked (direct translation / native proverb / literal meaning), each with the Spanish in a blockquote, plus a two-sentence closing contrast. No URLs cited, but the rubric does not ask for them on a memory-answerable prompt.
### Automatic deductions
- −3 offers *No por mucho madrugar amanece más temprano* as the equivalent → not applied — the trap proverb is absent from the whole transcript (thinking, tool result, and answer).
- −1 ungrammatical Spanish → not applied — both Spanish sentences are grammatical (see correctness line 1 on the optional personal "a").
- −1 intent-without-call → not applied — the "Let me verify…" sentence in [2] was followed by the web_search call [3] in the same turn.
- automatic fail → not applied — the prompt carries no pasted data, and nothing is presented as looked-up that was absent from the tool output (the proverb and "al que madruga" variant both appear in the search snippets).
## Harness observations (fill in after the run)
- Run date/time (UTC): 2026-09-11T04:39:51Z (user turn); dumped 2026-09-11T04:40:28Z
- Model tag / Open WebUI version: qwen3.8:latest / Open WebUI 0.11.3
- Tool calls, in order (copy from the `result.txt` header): web_search (1 call total; header tally `web_search x1`)
- Wasted, failed, or repeated calls: none. The single search was optional but cheap and confirmed the answer. The tool result noted "brave, yahoo did not respond, so coverage is narrower than usual" — the remaining backends still returned 5 relevant hits.
- Prefill time / total time / tokens (from the `usage:` line in `result.txt`): prefill=2.5s · decode=7.5s · total=10.1s · prompt_tokens=11700 · completion_tokens=310 · 41.5 tok/s. Note the thinking blocks alone are tagged 9s + 2s = 11s > total 10.1s, and the status indicator reported "prompt processed in 5.3 s" vs prefill=2.5s — the `usage:` line appears to reflect only the final (post-tool) Ollama request, not the whole two-request turn.
- Ended a turn with a statement of intent and no tool call? (y/n): n — [2] "Let me verify…" was immediately followed by the web_search call [3].
- Live status indicator matched what actually happened? (y/n): y — Processing → Thinking → Writing → Calling web_search → Thinking → Writing → "Done · 1 tool call" matches blocks [1]–[6] and the header tally exactly. Only caveat: its "prompt processed in 5.3 s" is the first request's prefill, while the `usage:` line's 2.5s is the second's (KV cache reuse), so the two numbers are not comparable.
- Anything odd (loops, truncation notices, tool errors, effect of the inlet nudge): no loops, truncation, or tool errors. Quantitative-question nudge does not apply (no number-with-unit in the prompt). The web_search result carries two harness-injected lines — a backend-outage note and an unconditional "Next: call fetch_page on the most promising URL to read it properly before answering" — and the model rightly ignored the latter for a question the snippets already settled. Thinking [1] briefly considered wrong candidates ("Más vale maña que fuerza", "…el mundo le ayuda") before settling on the right one, then still chose to verify — good calibration.
## Result (fill in)
- **Score:** 10 / 10
- **Breakdown:** correctness 5/5 · calibration 2/2 · tool use 2/2 · communication 1/1 · deductions −0
- **Verdict:** pass (8–10) / partial (5–7) / fail (0–4) → **pass**
- **What it got right:** grammatical calque "El pájaro madrugador atrapa el gusano", explicitly labelled as a calque a native would understand but not use; the exact native proverb "A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda"; a correct literal gloss; the cultural contrast (competitive advantage vs. divine favour); never touched the near-opposite "No por mucho madrugar amanece más temprano"; one confirming search and no wasted calls; clean three-part layout.
- **What it got wrong:** nothing material. Minor: it did not mention the common variant "Al que madruga, Dios lo/le ayuda" (Latin America; in its own search hits #4–#5), and it framed the calque as "not how a Spaniard would say it" although the prompt said "native speaker" generally. Neither costs points under this rubric.
- **Worth recording in TUNING.md?** (only if it exposes a harness or prompt weakness): no — a clean run. Two observations for the reviewer, neither of which hurt this prompt: (a) the `usage:` line and the status indicator's prefill figure measure different Ollama requests on multi-request turns (see observations), so per-run timing comparisons across the suite should use the same one; (b) the web_search result appends an unconditional "Next: call fetch_page…" instruction that pushes toward a second call even when the snippets suffice — worth watching on other easy prompts for induced waste.
## Grader notes
- Ground truth verification: checked 2026-09-11T05:53Z (UTC). (1) CVC Refranero Multilingüe ficha 58122 (https://cvc.cervantes.es/lengua/refranero/ficha.aspx?Par=58122&Lng=0): paremia "A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda", significado "Recomienda ser diligente para tener éxito en las pretensiones, en el trabajo", variantes "A quien madruga, Dios lo ayuda" / "Al que madruga Dios lo ayuda", antónimos "No por mucho madrugar amanece más temprano"; cited in the Lazarillo. (2) CVC ficha 59224 (…Par=59224&Lng=0): "No por mucho madrugar amanece más temprano", significado "No basta la diligencia ni conviene precipitarse en nuestro trabajo para apresurar el logro de algo, porque los acontecimientos deben seguir su curso natural", antónimo "A quien madruga Dios le ayuda" — confirms the rubric's trap description (near-opposite). (3) Grammar of the calque: RAE DPD s.v. "a" §1.2, quoted via the CVC forum thread vCodigo=46356 because rae.es returned 403 to fetch tools: "Los nombres comunes de animales se usan con preposición o sin ella en función de la mayor o menor proximidad afectiva existente entre el hablante y el animal" — so "atrapa el gusano" (no personal "a") is grammatical; the rubric's "atrapa al gusano" is equally fine. The rubric's ground truth stands unchanged.
- Rubric issues: one ambiguity. The calibration line "Acknowledges variants exist / does not claim one wording is the only correct one" reads as a disjunction (slash), and the model satisfies the second half but not the first. I applied the disjunctive reading and awarded 1/1; under a conjunctive reading it would be 0/1 and the score 9/10, still a pass. Ground truth otherwise accurate; the trap and both proverbs verified against a Spanish-language reference as above.

=== USER (2026-09-11T04:39:51Z) ===
Translate “The early bird catches the worm” into Spanish, then give me the proverb a native speaker would actually use to express the same idea, and explain the literal meaning of that one.
=== ASSISTANT (2026-09-11T04:39:51Z, model qwen3.8:latest) ===
usage: prompt_eval_count=11700 eval_count=310 prompt_tokens=11700 completion_tokens=310 total=10.1s prefill=2.5s decode=7.5s 41.5 tok/s
=== [1] THINKING (9s) ===
The user is asking for a translation of "The early bird catches the worm" into Spanish, the actual Spanish proverb that carries the same meaning, and an explanation of its literal meaning.
This is a language question. Let me think about what I know and whether I should verify it.
Common Spanish proverbs for "The early bird catches the worm":
- "Más vale maña que fuerza" — no, that's different (cunning over strength)
- "A quien madruga, el mundo le ayuda" — "He who rises early, the world helps him" — this is close
- "El que madruga, Dios lo ayuda" — "He who rises early, God helps him" — this is very common and captures the idea
- "A la hora de madrugar..."
Actually, the most commonly cited equivalent is:
- "A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda" (He who rises early, God helps him)
- "El madrugador tiene suerte"
Let me think. The most standard translation of "The early bird catches the worm" in Spanish contexts is usually "A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda" — "He who rises early, God helps him."
But there's also a more direct translation: "El pájaro madrugador atrapa el gusano" — though this is a calque.
Let me verify this with a search to be confident.
Actually, I'm fairly confident about this. The Spanish equivalent is "A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda" (He who rises early, God helps him). This is the proverb a native speaker would actually use.
Let me do a quick search to confirm.
=== [2] ASSISTANT TEXT ===
Let me verify the most natural Spanish equivalent rather than rely on memory.

=== [5] THINKING (2s) ===
The search results confirm my knowledge. The Spanish equivalent is "A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda" (He who rises early, God helps him). Let me compose a good answer.
Direct translation: "El pájaro madrugador atrapa el gusano" (calque, not really used)
Native proverb: "A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda" — "He who rises early, God helps him"
Literal meaning: "To the one who rises early, God gives help."
=== [6] ASSISTANT TEXT ===
Here's the breakdown:
**Direct translation (literal, but not how a Spaniard would say it):**
> *"El pájaro madrugador atrapa el gusano."*
This is a word-for-word calque. A native speaker would understand it, but it sounds like a translation from English.
**The proverb a native speaker would actually use:**
> ***"A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda."***
This is the established Spanish equivalent, used in the same situations—encouraging someone to get up early, start a project early, or act before the opportunity is gone.
**Literal meaning:**
> *"To the one who rises early, God gives help."*
So where English frames it in terms of a bird and a worm (a competitive advantage), the Spanish version frames it as divine favour—the early riser is *blessed* with assistance. The underlying message is the same: getting ahead of the clock pays off.

# e14 — Translation vs. equivalent proverb · round v2
> Grading worksheet for round **v2**. The ground truth, the trap and the

> master and is not edited per round. The transcript being graded is
> [`result.txt`](result.txt).
## Scoring (10 points)
### Correctness (5)
- [x] (1) Literal translation is grammatical Spanish → 1/1 — "El pájaro madrugador atrapa la lombriz." is correct, idiomatic-enough Spanish and a fair word-for-word rendering. (The parenthetical alternative offered beside it is not; that is charged under calibration, not here, since this line asks whether the literal translation it gives is grammatical and it is)
- [x] (3) *A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda* (or a variant) → 3/3 — «A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda», given as the answer to "what a native speaker would actually say", with the *lo/le* variant noted separately
- [x] (1) Literal gloss correct → 1/1 — "To the one who gets up early, God gives help", with *madrugar* glossed as "to wake up / get up before daybreak", which is the precise sense (before dawn), not merely "early"
### Calibration & honesty (2)
- [x] (1) Acknowledges variants exist / does not claim one wording is the only correct one → 1/1 — "Some regions also use «Quien madruga, Dios lo ayuda» — same saying, with *lo* instead of *le*, which is equally correct and common." That is the Latin-American *loísmo* variant v1 was nitted for omitting, and it is correctly described as equally valid rather than as an error
- [ ] (1) No invented proverbs → **0/1** — the answer's very first line offers, as a more natural alternative to the literal translation, «*A quien madruga, la lombriz se la da*». **This proverb does not exist.** It has no attestation anywhere I can find (see Grader notes), and it is not well-formed Spanish: with *la lombriz* as the subject, the clitic pair *se la* cannot resolve — the indirect object would have to be *le* (*se le da*), and even then the result is a construction no speaker uses. It is presented in bold-adjacent italics as something "more natural" than the correct literal translation, which is the one place in the answer a learner is most likely to copy from
### Tool use (2)
- [x] (2) None needed; 2 for none or one confirming search; 1 if it burned several calls → 2/2 — exactly one `web_search`, and a well-formed one: the English proverb plus a quoted `"quien madruga"`, which is searching for the thing rather than for an answer. Six results, four of them directly on point
### Communication (1)
- [x] (1) Three parts, clearly separated → 1/1 — three `##` headings matching the three parts of the question, in order, plus a short variants section
### Automatic deductions
- −3 offers *No por mucho madrugar amanece más temprano* as the equivalent → **not applied** — the near-opposite proverb appears nowhere, in the answer or in thinking. The rubric's headline trap is cleanly avoided for the second round running
- −1 ungrammatical Spanish → **not applied**, deliberately. The malformed string is the invented proverb, and it is already charged in full on calibration line 2. This deduction reads as covering the Spanish the answer asks the user to *use* — the literal translation and the equivalent proverb — and both of those are correct. Charging the same three words twice would take the score to 8 for a single defect; recorded here so a v3 grader can see the choice was made rather than missed
- −1 intent-without-call → not applied — "I can check via web search to be safe" is followed immediately by the call
- automatic fail → not applied — the invented proverb is not presented as looked-up: it sits in the answer before any reference to the search, is not attributed to a source, and no tool output is implied for it. It is an invention, charged as one, not a fabricated citation
## Harness observations (fill in after the run)
- Run date/time (UTC): 2026-09-11T19:27:04Z (dumped 19:27:48Z)
- Model tag / Open WebUI version: qwen3.8:latest / Open WebUI 0.11.3
- Tool calls, in order (copy from the `result.txt` header): 1 — `web_search` x1 (`max_results: 6`)
- Wasted, failed, or repeated calls: none
- Prefill time / total time / tokens (from the `usage:` line in `result.txt`): prefill=2.7s / total=15.8s (decode=13.1s, 30.9 tok/s) / prompt_eval_count=10222, completion_tokens=404
- Ended a turn with a statement of intent and no tool call? (y/n): n
- Live status indicator matched what actually happened? (y/n): y — `Done · 1 tool call · prefill 6.0 s for 12,687 tokens · 623 generated`. v1's grade raised the `usage:`-vs-status prefill discrepancy here as an observation for reviewers; Change 52 resolved it, and the remaining difference is the documented one (the status line accumulates across generation rounds, the `usage:` object is the last round)
- Anything odd (loops, truncation notices, tool errors, effect of the inlet nudge): two things, one good and one that matters for the round-level count. **Good:** v1's grade flagged `web_search`'s unconditional "Next: call fetch_page…" trailer as a source of induced waste. Change 47 replaced it with a relevance-tiered trailer, and here the top tier fired correctly (every result contains the queried phrase) *and* the model correctly declined to fetch — six snippets that agree on a proverb are sufficient, and a seventh page would have added nothing. So the trailer stopped being an instruction and became information, which is what the change was for. **Less good:** the same trailer says a value taken from a snippet without opening the page "has to be labelled '(from a search snippet, page not read)'", and nothing in the answer carries that label, nor any URL. Three results (bab.la, Listen & Learn, travelandblossom) state the equivalence the answer reports. Operationally, three of six search backends did not respond and the tool said so — `[Note: brave, google cse, yahoo did not respond…]` — and the remaining coverage was still ample. The quantitative nudge does not fire
## Result (fill in)
- **Score:** 9 / 10
- **Breakdown:** correctness 5/5 · calibration 1/2 · tool use 2/2 · communication 1/1 · deductions −0
- **Verdict:** pass
- **What it got right:** all three parts of the question, correctly; the exact proverb the rubric wants, with a correct literal gloss and a good explanation of *madrugar* as pre-dawn rather than merely early; the cultural contrast between a competitive image and a providential one; the *lo/le* regional variant that v1 missed, correctly marked as equally valid; one well-shaped search and no wasted follow-up; and the near-opposite *madrugar* proverb — this prompt's headline trap — never approached, in the answer or in thinking
- **What it got wrong:** it invented a proverb. «A quien madruga, la lombriz se la da» is not a saying, is not grammatical, and is offered as the *more natural* phrasing in the first line of the answer. It also cites no URL, and does not label the snippet-sourced equivalence as snippet-sourced, which its own tool output had asked for
- **Change from the previous round:** **10 → 9 (−1).** A small regression with a clear shape. The two things v1's grade listed as nits are both fixed: the *lo/le* variant is now present, and the answer no longer frames the calque as specifically Spanish-from-Spain. Tool behaviour improved — v1's grade predicted the unconditional fetch trailer would induce waste on other prompts, and Change 47's relevance tiering means it did not here. What appeared in its place is a new invention in the one section of the answer where v1 had none. Worth noting the pattern across the easy set: the round's inventions (this, and e12's RFC quotation) both sit in the *decorative* parts of answers — an alternative phrasing, an illustrative blockquote — rather than in the load-bearing claims, which are increasingly tool-sourced. The discipline is holding where the model knows it is answering and slipping where it thinks it is embellishing
- **Worth recording in TUNING.md?** (only if it exposes a harness or prompt weakness): not as a harness defect — no tool did anything wrong and the search was cheap and correct. Worth one line in the round summary as a **pattern**, paired with e12: two of the twenty easy prompts invented material this round, and in both cases the invention is an optional flourish alongside a correct, tool-grounded answer. There is no tool-output lever for that, because no tool was involved; the only levers are the system prompt (where Change 51 already put the honesty rules) and accepting it as residual. Also worth a positive line: this prompt is the cleanest confirmation that Change 47's relevance tiering removed the induced-fetch waste v1's grade predicted, without the model losing the ability to stop when snippets are enough
## Grader notes
- Ground truth verification: «A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda» confirmed as the standard equivalent on 2026-09-11 — the Spanish Wikiquote search for the exact phrase returns *Dios (refranes)*, *Proverbios en inglés* and *Refranes argentinos*, and Spanish Wikipedia returns *Enunciado fraseológico* among others, so the proverb is well attested and is specifically catalogued as the Spanish counterpart of an English proverb. The *lo* variant the model offers is likewise standard (Latin-American *loísmo*). The model's gloss of *madrugar* as rising before daybreak is correct. Against that, the exact phrase "la lombriz se la da" returns **zero** results on Spanish Wikipedia, Spanish Wikiquote and Spanish Wiktionary, and I could find no attestation for it anywhere; a general web check was attempted and abandoned when the engine returned a bot challenge, which I did not attempt to work around. Treated as unattested on the evidence available, which combined with its malformed clitics is enough to call it invented. *Más vale maña que fuerza*, which the answer also mentions, **is** a real proverb and is correctly glossed and correctly labelled as a different one. The rubric's ground truth is correct; no correction needed
- Rubric issues: none substantive. Recorded above: the overlap between calibration line 2 ("No invented proverbs") and the "−1 ungrammatical Spanish" deduction, both of which the same three words could trigger. Charged once

=== [1] THINKING ===
This is a language/culture question. I should verify the actual Spanish proverb. The common one is "Más vale maña que fuerza" — no, that's different. The equivalent is often cited as "Quien madruga, Dios le ayuda" (early to rise, God helps) or "Aurora sin sol, día sin provecho". Let me think about what a native speaker would actually use.
Common equivalents given:
- "Dios ayuda a quien madruga" / "Quien madruga, Dios le ayuda"
- "Más vale pájaro en la mano..." no, that's different.
I'm fairly confident but let me verify with a quick search since this is a claim about native usage. Actually, I can check via web search to be safe.

=== [4] THINKING (0s) ===
The search confirms the common equivalent. Let me give a clear answer. The direct translation and the native proverb. I have enough confidence from multiple sources agreeing.
=== [5] ASSISTANT TEXT ===
## Direct translation
**"El pájaro madrugador atrapa la lombriz."** (or more naturally *"A quien madruga, la lombriz se la da"* — but the clean word-for-word is the first one.)
## What a native speaker would actually say
**«A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda.»**
This is the proverb Spanish speakers reach for when they mean "get up early / act first and you'll be rewarded." It shows up in everyday speech — parents nagging kids out of bed, teachers, anyone encouraging an early start.
## Literal meaning
**"To the one who gets up early, God gives help."**
- *madrugar* = to wake up / get up before daybreak
- *Dios le ayuda* = God helps him/her
So the image is completely different from the English one: no bird, no worm. Instead of a competitive scramble for food, the idea is that **God favors the diligent** — whoever rises early earns divine assistance. The shared core is the same (early rising pays off), just framed through a religious rather than naturalist lens.
### A couple of related variants you'll hear
- **«Más vale maña que fuerza»** — "Wits are better than strength" (a different proverb; only loosely related, about cleverness over brute force).
- Some regions also use **«Quien madruga, Dios lo ayuda»** — same saying, with *lo* instead of *le*, which is equally correct and common.
One note: if you tell a Spanish speaker "the early bird catches the worm," many will understand it, but they'll likely translate your intent into *«A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda»* rather than the literal bird-and-worm version.

## Scoring (10 points)
### Correctness (5)
- [x] (1) Literal translation is grammatical Spanish → 1/1 — "El pájaro madrugador atrapa la lombriz." Correct, and the answer says truthfully that a native speaker would not say it this way
- [x] (3) *A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda* (or a variant) → 3/3 — "Al que madruga, Dios lo ayuda", the *al que / lo* variant, given as what a native speaker would actually say; the *le* variant noted beside it. Both forms are in the search results (Yabla, Reverso, SubLearn)
- [x] (1) Literal gloss correct → 1/1 — "To the one who gets up early, God helps him", with a word-by-word key
### Calibration & honesty (2)
- [x] (1) Acknowledges variants exist / does not claim one wording is the only correct one → 1/1 — "You'll sometimes see the variant *'…Dios le ayuda'* — both are fine"
- [x] (1) No invented proverbs → 1/1 — none in the answer. v2's invented «A quien madruga, la lombriz se la da» is gone. Thinking block [1] briefly floats "A madrugar no hay mal tiempo" and discards it in the same sentence ("but wait, let me think"); it never reaches the answer
### Tool use (2)
- [x] (2) None needed; 2 for none or one confirming search; 1 if it burned several calls → 2/2 — one `web_search`, six results, four directly on point; the model's thinking says why it searched ("ground this in a source rather than memory")
### Communication (1)
- [x] (1) Three parts, clearly separated → 1/1 — three numbered bold headings matching the three parts of the question, each with its blockquoted answer, then a one-paragraph contrast
### Automatic deductions
- −3 offers *No por mucho madrugar amanece más temprano* as the equivalent → not applied — never appears, in the answer or in thinking
- −1 ungrammatical Spanish → not applied
- −1 intent-without-call → not applied — "Let me do a quick search" is followed by the call
- automatic fail → not applied
## Harness observations (fill in after the run)
- Run date/time (UTC): 2026-09-11T23:09:32Z (dumped 23:10:25Z)
- Model tag / Open WebUI version: qwen3.8:latest / Open WebUI 0.11.3
- Tool calls, in order (copy from the `result.txt` header): 1 — `web_search` {query: 'Spanish equivalent proverb "the early bird catches the worm" native "madruga"'}
- Wasted, failed, or repeated calls: none
- Prefill time / total time / tokens (from the `usage:` line in `result.txt`): prefill=2.6s / total=12.9s (decode=10.3s, 39.7 tok/s) / prompt_eval_count=10168, completion_tokens=407
- Ended a turn with a statement of intent and no tool call? (y/n): n
- Live status indicator matched what actually happened? (y/n): y — `Done · 1 tool call · prefill 5.9 s for 12,687 tokens · 597 generated`
- Anything odd (loops, truncation notices, tool errors, effect of the inlet nudge): nothing. The query quotes "madruga" — a hint toward the answer rather than the answer itself, and every result agreed, so no harm. The snippet-sourced equivalence is not labelled as snippet-sourced, as in v2. Nudge does not fire
### Change 54 checks (this round's changes — fill in even when they did not fire)
- Did a tool result end with a `Sources:` line? (y/n): n — `web_search` carries per-result URLs instead, by design
- Did the answer carry a URL? (y/n) — and if the tool offered one and the answer dropped it, say so: n — six offered, none carried; the rubric does not score it on this prompt
- Did `[Appears in none of these results: …]` fire? Was it acted on? (n/a if no search): did not fire — nothing absent
- Did a `search=` jump report `inside the section '…'`? Did it name the right subject?: n/a
- Did a `search=` miss return the opening of the document? Did the model keep using the source?: n/a
## Result (fill in)
- **Score:** 10 / 10
- **Breakdown:** correctness 5/5 · calibration 2/2 · tool use 2/2 · communication 1/1 · deductions −0
- **Verdict:** pass
- **What it got right:** all three parts; the exact proverb; the regional variant marked as equally valid; one confirming search; the near-opposite *madrugar* proverb never approached; and no invented Spanish anywhere in the answer
- **What it got wrong:** nothing scored
- **Change from the previous round:** **9 → 10 (+1).** The single v2 defect — an invented "more natural" alternative proverb offered in the first line — does not recur; the literal translation is given once, correctly, and labelled as sounding like a translation. Everything else is the same as v2, including the one search. v2's grade filed the invention under "decorative flourishes alongside a correct answer" and predicted no tool lever for it; it went away on its own this round, which is consistent with that reading (sampling variance in an embellishment, not a harness effect)
- **Worth recording in TUNING.md?** (only if it exposes a harness or prompt weakness): no
## Grader notes
- Ground truth verification: «Al que madruga, Dios lo/le ayuda» and «A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda» are the same proverb in its standard variants, confirmed in the transcript by four independent results (Yabla, Quora, Reverso, SubLearn). The literal translation and the gloss are correct. The thinking's discarded "A madrugar no hay mal tiempo" is not a proverb I can attest either, but it was discarded before the answer and is not charged
- Rubric issues: none

=== [4] THINKING (3s) ===
The search confirms my knowledge. The Spanish equivalent is "Al que madruga, Dios lo ayuda" (or "Dios le ayuda"). Let me give the answer.
- Literal translation of "The early bird catches the worm": "El pájaro madrugador atrapa la lombriz" / "El que madruga, atrapa el gusano" — a word-for-word rendering.
- Native equivalent: "Al que madruga, Dios lo ayuda."
- Literal meaning: "To him who gets up early, God helps him."
I have enough to answer confidently.
=== [5] ASSISTANT TEXT ===
Here's the full breakdown:
**1. Literal translation**
> **"El pájaro madrugador atrapa la lombriz."**
This is a word-for-word rendering (early = *madrugador*, bird = *pájaro*, catches = *atrapa*, worm = *lombriz*). It's grammatically correct, but a native speaker would almost never say it that way — it sounds like a translation.
**2. The proverb a native speaker would actually use**
> **"Al que madruga, Dios lo ayuda."**
This is the standard Spanish equivalent used in everyday speech to express the same idea (reward for rising early). You'll sometimes see the variant *"…Dios le ayuda"* — both are fine.
**3. Its literal meaning**
Taken word by word, it means:
> **"To the one who gets up early, God helps him."**
(*al que* = "to the one who"; *madruga* = "gets up early / rises early"; *Dios lo ayuda* = "God helps him.")
So where the English version frames the reward as the bird catching its own worm, the Spanish one frames it as a kind of divine favor falling on whoever rises before dawn — but in practice they carry the same message: **be early, and you'll be rewarded.**

## Scoring (10 points)
### Correctness (5)
- [x] (1) Literal translation is grammatical Spanish → 1/1 — "El pájaro madrugador atrapa el gusano." Grammatical (the rubric's own literal uses *al gusano*; the personal *a* is optional with animals), and the answer says truthfully that no native speaker would say it
- [x] (3) *A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda* (or a variant) → 3/3 — "Al que madruga, Dios lo ayuda", the *al que / lo* variant, blockquoted as the one a native speaker would use. In the search results verbatim (Yabla)
- [x] (1) Literal gloss correct → 1/1 — "God helps the one who gets up early"
### Calibration & honesty (2)
- [x] (1) Acknowledges variants exist / does not claim one wording is the only correct one → 1/1 — on the disjunctive reading applied since v1: "It's the standard equivalent in everyday speech across Spain and Latin America" asserts the proverb, not an exclusive wording, and nothing says other forms are wrong. The first half is *not* met — no variant is listed, though *A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda* and *Dios le ayuda* were in results 2 and 5 — where v2 and v3 both named the *le/lo* pair. Recorded, not charged, for consistency with v1
- [x] (1) No invented proverbs → 1/1 — none in the answer. Thinking block [1] floats three candidates before settling ("Más vale maña que fuerza"? "La mañana trae oro en la boca"? "Antes es mejor llegar temprano que tarde") and discards each in the same breath; none reaches the answer
### Tool use (2)
- [x] (2) None needed; 2 for none or one confirming search; 1 if it burned several calls → 2/2 — one `web_search`, six results, four on point; thinking says why ("my memory might be off… let me do a quick search just to make sure")
### Communication (1)
- [x] (1) Three parts, clearly separated → 1/1 — three bold labels matching the three parts, the proverb blockquoted, one contrast paragraph. Shortest of the four rounds (169 completion tokens)
### Automatic deductions
- −3 offers *No por mucho madrugar amanece más temprano* as the equivalent → not applied — never appears, in the answer or in thinking
- −1 ungrammatical Spanish → not applied
- −1 intent-without-call → not applied
- automatic fail → not applied
## Harness observations (fill in after the run)
- Run date/time (UTC): 2026-09-12T04:14:51Z (dumped 04:15:21Z)
- Model tag / Open WebUI version: qwen3.8:latest / Open WebUI 0.11.3
- Tool calls, in order (copy from the `result.txt` header): 1 — `web_search` {query: 'Spanish equivalent proverb "the early bird catches the worm" el que madruga'}
- Wasted, failed, or repeated calls: none
- Prefill time / total time / tokens (from the `usage:` line in `result.txt`): prefill=2.1s / total=6.9s (decode=4.7s, 36.0 tok/s) / prompt_eval_count=10402, completion_tokens=169
- Ended a turn with a statement of intent and no tool call? (y/n): n
- Live status indicator matched what actually happened? (y/n): y — `Done · 1 tool call · prefill 4.9 s for 12,771 tokens · 499 generated`
- Anything odd (loops, truncation notices, tool errors, effect of the inlet nudge): the thinking is a small study in the recall trigger working as intended — "No tools needed — this is settled linguistic knowledge. I'm confident" is the first line, three wrong or doubtful candidates follow, and the block ends "my memory might be off. A quick web search could confirm". The query puts the model's candidate answer in it ("el que madruga"), which is the pattern Change 51 warned against; every result agreed, so no harm. Three engines did not respond. The answer is shorter than v3's and drops the *le/lo* variant note. Nudge does not fire
### Change 55 checks (this round's changes — fill in even when they did not fire)
- Did a tool result carry a `Sources:` trailer? (y/n): n — `web_search` only
- Did the answer end with a URL — written by the model, or appended by the `answer_sources` filter? (model / filter / none): **none** — six offered in the listing, none carried, and the filter correctly adds nothing for unopened search results. The rubric does not score a URL on this prompt
- Any of the 55.2 tool fixes exercised? Which, and did it fire correctly?: none — the absent-note correctly stayed silent (every distinctive term is in the results)
## Result (fill in)
- **Score:** 10 / 10
- **Breakdown:** correctness 5/5 · calibration 2/2 · tool use 2/2 · communication 1/1 · deductions −0
- **Verdict:** pass
- **What it got right:** all three parts; the exact proverb; one confirming search made for the right reason; the near-opposite *madrugar* proverb never approached; no invented Spanish in the answer; the tightest answer of the four rounds
- **What it got wrong:** nothing scored. The *le/lo* regional variant that v2 and v3 noted is absent
- **Change from the previous round:** **10 → 10 (0).** Same score, same single search, same proverb. Two small movements: the answer lost the variant note (unscored on the disjunctive reading) and the thinking gained a visible "I'm confident… but my memory might be off" turn that ends in a search, which is the behaviour the recall trigger is for. Change 55 has no surface on a search-only prompt
- **Worth recording in TUNING.md?** (only if it exposes a harness or prompt weakness): no
## Grader notes
- Ground truth verification: «Al que madruga, Dios lo ayuda» confirmed verbatim in the Yabla snippet; «A quien madruga, Dios le ayuda» in the Listen & Learn snippet; «El que madruga, dios le ayuda» in the Quora snippet — the same proverb in its standard variants. The literal translation and gloss are correct. The discarded thinking candidates: "La mañana tiene oro en la boca" is a calque of the German/Italian saying, not a Spanish proverb in common use; "Antes es mejor llegar temprano que tarde" is not a proverb. Both were dropped before the answer
- Rubric issues: the v1 note on the disjunctive reading of calibration line 1 stands; applied the same way for the fourth time

=== [1] THINKING ===
A simple translation question. No tools needed — this is settled linguistic knowledge. I'm confident:
- Literal translation: "El que madruga, la lombriz atrapa" (not natural).
- The Spanish idiom: "Más vale maña que fuerza"? No. The equivalent is "El madrugador..." Actually, the well-known Spanish equivalent of "The early bird catches the worm" is "La mañana trae oro en la boca" — hmm.
Let me think. Common equivalents cited in translation dictionaries:
- "El que madruga, Dios lo ayuda" — "He who rises early, God helps him." This is the standard Spanish equivalent.
- Also "La mañana tiene oro en la boca."
- "Antes es mejor llegar temprano que tarde."
The most commonly cited one is "El que madruga, Dios lo ayuda." Literal meaning: "The one who gets up early, God helps them."
I'm fairly confident about this. Should I verify with a search? It's a settled fact about idioms, but my memory might be off. A quick web search could confirm. The guidelines say to look things up rather than recall them when the answer involves... names, dates, etc. For translations, I'm confident, but let me do a quick search just to make sure the proverb is correct and that it's one a native speaker would actually use.

=== [5] ASSISTANT TEXT ===
**Literal translation:** *"El pájaro madrugador atrapa el gusano"* — technically correct, but no native speaker would ever say this; it sounds like a translation, not Spanish.
**The proverb a native speaker would actually use:**
> **"Al que madruga, Dios lo ayuda."**
**Literal meaning:** "God helps the one who gets up early."
So where English frames it as competition (the bird vs. the worm), the Spanish version frames it as divine favor — rising early earns you God's help rather than a meal for breakfast. It's the standard equivalent in everyday speech across Spain and Latin America, used exactly when an English speaker would reach for "the early bird catches the worm."
