That's really strange and incredibly frustrating - but slightly less so if it's consistent with all of the bars (including their own).

I take issue with their choice of bar ordering - they placed the lowest-performing model directly next to theirs to make the gap as visible as possible, and shoved the second-best model (Grok-1) as far from theirs as possible. Seems intentional to me. The more marketing tricks you pile up in a dataviz, the less trust I place in your product for sure.

Interesting! It is probably one of the worst trick I have seen in a while for a bar graph. Never seen this one before. Trust vanishes instantly facing that kind of dataviz.

Wow, that is indeed a novel approach haha, took me a moment to even understand what you described since would never imagine someone plotting a bar chart like that.
