Earlier quoted context omitted.

I know of multiple businesses in Europe that have been doing that for a while with 70B models, and are upgrading hardware to run the new crop of 700B-1T models (really started around Kimi K2, but buying and hosting that kind of hardware takes time) Not everyone is willing (or even legally able) to send their trade secrets to OpenAI or Anthropic

What kind of hardware/price does it take to run those?

Nvidia will sell you an entire server rack ready for inference. Or maybe you can roll out your own Blackwell based system.

We’re approaching a world where running a primer frontier model is possible on a workstation, probably will have something under $30k that looks like a desktop for Nvidia’s next generation. It sounds expensive, until you look at your Anthropic bill.

It’s similar unit economics as could computing for the open models. You can save a ton on the expenses by buying the hardware, but it requires a lot of in-house expertise, and you get the most value if you keep the system operating around the clock. The big kink is open models are usually 2 quarters behind frontier, and your competitors are probably trying to get access to mythos.

I have a script that ranks these based on codingindex from Artificial Analysis. All it does is pull a json from their main table page and parses it with the fields I care about (coding). There used to be a mailing list associated with it but eh ... there wasn't much interest. I use the script every day though.

Why aren't more people talking about this? It's literally Opus 4.7 quality stupid prices. I know providers who are offering this at unlimited tokens for $50 a month. Some are even offering API rates at 3x lower than the official ZAI api rates which are already like 10x cheaper than Opus. (Crof and Umans btw) This is a huge blow to Anthropic/OpenAI/Google and a massive win for the rest of the world. The official API p…

Be careful about unofficial providers, a lot of them misconfigure models or stealth quantize them. For a while the difference between Kimi on the official API and most third party providers was 20-40%.

Kimi K2 had a vendor verifier: https://github.com/MoonshotAI/K2-Vendor-Verifier

(there's a table which shows comparison between vendors)

Also, it seems there's a general one as well (for all kimi models?): https://github.com/MoonshotAI/Kimi-Vendor-Verifier

Doesn't pass the sniff test. Casuals messing around already go to far more trouble to set up openclaw or comfyui or what have you.

What percentage of "casuals"? ;)

"Casuals" just use the web interface from the provider, which Z.ai also has

It seems to really be a nice step-up and is getting quite close to the frontier. I wish they'd start focusing on the reasoning efficiency now, though. I have a simple (relatively) test task to evaluate LLMs: writing a simple math evaluator library in Nim (it's about 400-600 lines total max), and GLM 5.2 (xhigh which maps to max effort) spent over 15 minutes (!) reasoning, spending about 45k tokens, before it finally…

That's interesting. I gave nearly the same task to Gemma4 31b as a test yesterday. Write a symbolic math engine in Typescript that can perform evaluation and simple expression reductions over +-/*(). It performed the task correctly with minimal reasoning - much fewer reasoning tokens than output tokens.

Thanks for sharing. I'm curious: why didn't you sort with the score descending?

Not OP but if you run this from the CLI it does make the ordering make a little more sense

Because it's currently 511 lines. Why would I want to scroll up to see the stuff I care about? Don't you want the relevant stuff to be right there in front of you?
