@FuckAnthropic: Conducted a comparative analysis. Overall, DeepSeek V4 Flash-0731 is roughly a model at the level between Opus 4.7 and 4.8, entering the frontier Agent model competition with a minimal activation scale, and at about 1/12 to 1/60 of the token cost to enter the frontier Ag…
The author's comparative analysis concludes that DeepSeek V4 Flash-0731 achieves Opus 4.7–4.8 level performance with an extremely small activation scale, entering the frontier agent model tier at a very low token cost. It surpasses GLM-5.2 overall, but its shortfalls remain difficult repository-level coding and long-horizon engineering.
Gemma 4 31B's competence surprised me
A user shares anecdotal findings that Gemma 4 31B outperforms Qwen 3.6 models and matches Opus 4.7 in understanding and refactoring messy academic code, highlighting a benchmark (SciCode) where Gemma excels.
@RealYDT: Holy shit, brothers, I suddenly have a bit of a conspiracy theory, but it makes more sense the more I think about it: Maybe Opus 4.6 was the last generation of Opus that was actually used extensively by human employees internally at Anthropic. After that, the internal focus shifted to Mythos. Then, the training and RL... for 4.7, 4.8, and 5 were increasingly done by a stronger "AI teacher" like Mythos to spot errors, score, and correct.
The user speculates that starting from Opus 4.6, Anthropic internally shifted to using the Mythos model, leading to subsequent Opus models being trained and behaving more cautiously and AI-like.
Open-source models are closing the coding gap with GPT/Claude/Gemini ~1.5x faster than the frontier is advancing, and on decontaminated benchmarks a 27B model already beats Claude Opus 4.8 [live dashboard + analysis]
A live dashboard and statistical analysis shows open-source coding models are closing the gap with closed models at 1.5x the rate, with a 27B model already surpassing Claude Opus on decontaminated benchmarks. Tool-call reliability remains the main bottleneck.
Sai outperforms Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 on OSWorld 2.0 at about two-thirds the cost (73%), and for complex desktop tasks, it can autonomously click and fill, making it a true AI computer colleague that can work on your behalf—definitely worth a try.
Sai defeats Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 in the OSWorld 2.0 benchmark at roughly two-thirds the cost, scoring 73%, and demonstrates efficient desktop task execution capabilities.
