Indeed the 0%point is zero hours, so compared to the METR plot it is divided by 8 hours.
The 8 hours I agree is somewhat arbitrary and I had missed that METR had a more ‘official’ stance on it. I made an issue out of it now to see if anyone else had reasons to make it 8 hours.
(For context I did most of the benchmark literature review for this project and data collection.)
Edit (29 Jan 2026): The change to 40 hour normalization is now live!
