The read
Most models (about 54 of 78) picked Stanford, mainly citing Silicon Valley proximity, entrepreneurship, and STEM strength, while roughly 24 backed Harvard for prestige and endowment. The sharpest dissent: Qwen3.8 Flash mocked Harvard as an 1800s brand tied to 'final clubs,' while Muse Glimmer 30B favored Harvard purely on alumni network and endowment.
