What's wrong with the name? The step function is a pretty well known one

"StepFun"

What is wrong with that? Sounds like only you find something wrong with the name, whatever it may be.

I'm running minimax m2.7 locally (pretty good!). Tried stepfun 3.5 flash (kind of weak) and mimo v2.5 flash (tended to loop real hard). Looking forward to testing stepfun 3.7. Looks pretty good benchmark-wise.

Do you mean MiMo V2 Flash? V2.5 doesn't have a Flash version.

My guess is "Fun with the Step[mom]". Well... grow up or go to reddit.

Everything looked meh so far, until entered the visual recognition and reasoning chapter. That was very impressive. Very cool to see more vendors pushing towards models understanding images instead of just performing OCR. The pricing in their subscription plan also look quite generous. https://platform.stepfun.com/step-plan I just wish they put a little bit of energy on making their service usable for non-chinese use…

I don’t even see the “en” button. Have to use browser translation which distorts the website

You're right. I mean MiMo V2.5. The smaller model compared to MiMo V2.5 Pro.

I'm talking objectively, I use their models, but you really can't see why they wouldn't reach mass market with this name, really?

I'm honestly not sure what you're getting it, maybe you should spell it out instead of acting as if it's some arcane knowledge and we're expected to read your mind.
