Why it moved the index

The original result documented a frontier-scale open-domain dialogue model with concrete safety and groundedness limitations, and the model family later reached public deployment through Bard. This is distinct from the earlier product-family introduction because it records the exact 137B model, primary evaluation, and downstream use.
