How scored??
We start at 5.0 (default corporate confidence), add points for buzzword gymnastics and benchmark flexing, subtract points if you brought actual shipping receipts, then clamp it between 0 and 10 so the delusion stays numerically manageable.

WHAT THEY MEANT

Ah yes, another triumphant version increment where changing a decimal point is apparently a seismic technological event. We've quantum leaped from V3.2-Exp to V3.2 — truly a breakthrough so profound it requires TWO nearly identical version names. The 'Speciale' seems to be Latin for 'we added an extra config file and called it revolutionary'.

REALITY CHECK

This looks like a standard point release with some API adjustments, rebranded as a major innovation. The core model is likely quite similar to previous versions, with incremental improvements. The 'reasoning-first' claim is marketing language that doesn't necessarily indicate a fundamental architectural change.
