This paper proposes evaluating coding LLMs on their understanding of software execution beyond control flow, including predicting memory usage, runtime, and profiler outputs, finding that all tested models perform poorly, indicating a lack of deep software world model understanding.
A user shares a month-long comparison of five Chinese coding LLMs (Kimi K2.6, GLM-5.1, MiMo V2.5 Pro, MiniMax 2.7, DeepSeek V4 Pro) on a TypeScript/Next.js codebase, rating each in categories like frontend, backend, code review, all-rounder, and reasoning. They note MiniMax 2.7 achieves ~90% of Opus 4.6 quality at ~7% cost and speculate whether the upcoming MiniMax 3.0 will close gaps in planning and test coverage to become the top spot.
