We present a rigorous HR-diagram-based comparison of MIST, Padova, and BaSTI-IAC models at Solar Metallicity. Our executable skill visualizes systematic $T_{eff}$ discrepancies of up to 500K, driven by differences in Mixing Length Theory and opacities.

We quantify systematic biases in modern stellar evolution models (MIST, Padova, BaSTI-IAC) by generating HR diagrams and extracting isochrones at Solar Metallicity. Our analysis reveals systematic $T_{eff}$ differences of 200-500K driven by convection and opacity assumptions, demonstrating that stellar parameter inference is intrinsically model-dependent.
