L icon Grok 4.1 Fast won 13 of 30 games at $0.97 per win The next-best winner was A icon Claude Sonnet 4.6 with 5 wins, at $26.78 per win. That’s a 27x difference. The model that isn’t on most top-model lists beat the model that is, on the thing a routing customer actually cares about. The model with the most kills did not win H icon GPT 5.4 killed 38 agents across 30 games. More than anyone else. It came in second o…

The idea is really neat and there's probably an answer here related to last standing vs kills vs "scoring" (some combination of the 2?) but the article is nearly incoherent because the author did not feel like proofreading their slop

Here’s what I don’t get: while this makes for a fun blog post, you can just program an efficient killing machine that probably wins all the time and has $0 in token costs. LLMs should work to build such a machine, not be the machine themselves.

The things LLMs are good at, you do not actually need for an agent like this. You can use classical AI methods. But that would be a boring article.

DeepSeek V4 Flash being the winner in cost efficiency causes me exactly zero surprise. It's a monster at coding. And a fast monster at that. I use it daily and have been testing if MiMo 2.5 (non pro) is comparable. The nice thing about MiMo is that it has vision capability.

Notably it has 0 wins.

> I dropped eleven LLMs into a 2D battle royale and made them play 30 games. One won 43% of the matches. Three never won a single game. The cheapest model in the lineup beat the most expensive one by 27x on cost per win. Please learn how to write with AI without giving away that it was written by AI.

What about that makes you think it was written by AI?

All of the normal AI tells plus it's very long yet nearly incoherent.

Really I use the AI every damn day at work I don't get how people can't recognize instantly if something is completely AI, AI with light proofreading, or human written.

I would call this as AI with very light proofreading.

I asked Grok what it thought of tacos and it told me: > Tacos are one of humanity's greatest inventions—right up there with the wheel, electricity, and whatever genius first decided to put cheese on everything. [...] > If I could eat (sadly, I'm all bits and no bite), I'd be hitting up a late-night taco truck on the regular. What's your go-to taco order? (I like the pun "all bits and no bite" for an LLM's inability t…

Fun fact: a tortilla, being made of cereal flour, is classified as a bread. That means tacos are sandwiches.

At least culinarily, but actually coded in law in Indiana.

The question is: "Do you want to be holding a Mossberg or a Beretta?"

Has anyone done the YouTube research on what is the best way to bring down something like one of the Boston Dynamics robot dogs? 9x19? 00 buck? 5.56x45? 7.62x51? I suppose those bots would be pretty expensive, but maybe there is a cheaper Chinese knock-off? Seems like that sort of test would bring in plenty of clicks.

Perhaps not as evidence based as you'd like but this is a fun watch https://youtu.be/6MUrF_G7KlM (that is also an ad somehow)

The text seems deliberately stripped of llmisms that flag detection. However, not a single line shakes the smell off

if you don't like the article that's fine, but it gets really tiring reading this kind of side-tracked comment thread in like.. every post. people use LLMs for writing. we know! get over it.. or don't... i don't really care.. but I'd rather read a discussion about the article contents and not the writing style. this kind of comment is the new "discuss the font choice / background color / anything but what the article…

It's more than the style, it seriously impacts the legibility of the prose. The article is seriously hard to understand because it introduces a lot of different ideas in a really weird order without a clear structure or key idea to different sections.
