A third the cost, open source, and won't refuse every other request because of some vague possible connection to cybersecurity concerns.

Oracle routing is by definition not possible.

Why SoTA (uppercase “T”) instead of SotA (lowercase “T”) ?

“State of [T]he Art” versus “State of [t]he Art”.

If not SotA then at least SOTA, which is more accurate.

As always, benchmarks rarely paint the whole picture. It also seems like this article is somewhat biased, eg when Fable and Kimi are close but Fable wins it’s “dead heat”, but when Kimi wins it’s “Kimi wins”. GPT 5.6 seems to be missing as well.

I am really eager to give Kimi K3 a try, but I’ll reserve my judgement until I’ve worked with it for at least a few days.

They forgot to compare and incorporate GPT-5.6-Sol.

Hmmm, a company that hosts open models is telling us how good open models are...
