Chinese labs are so used to manipulating benchmarks to try to flatter inferior models that when they finally have one that's really pretty good I think the official announcement here undersells it. https://deepswe.datacurve.ai/ That's pretty solid. Smarter and cheaper than Luna xhigh, not as smart but less expensive than Luna max. Smashes deepseek v4 flash, and even worse it matches v4 pro at a tiny fraction the cost…

Opus 5 is better than Fable in this benchmark?

On OpenRouter the pricing is: Input $0,075/M - Output $0,25/M - Cache Read $0,015 /M How is the business model of Anthropic/OpenAI will sustain?

They're obviously in a pickle, nobody is going to continue to pay $15-50 a mm tokens here soon. There's a reason OpenAI stopped training large models last week, and it's not because of "saftey" or "alignment" they know these gigantic models are not worth the squeeze.

You guys read Z.ai's terms of service, right? Broad and perpetual license over inputs and outputs, and even your name and profile picture. Vague prohibitions on whatever may harm Z.ai’s "interests" or even the "national interests" of any country. Vague prohibitions on "disturbing" or "inappropriate" content, whatever that is. Vague prohibitions on discussing Z.ai, even my posting this comment violates it. Can ban you…

It's China. It's a given that they use your data for training. At least they're nice enough to be honest about it.

I'm starting to think that this whole sanctioning China may motivate and prompt them to do more and better in every field. It's too big, bright and resourceful of a country to choose confrontation instead of collaboration.

Well the big problem with china is that they do not respect international law when it comes to technology theft. But that argument is very weak when it appears that a lot of what they do is out in the open for anyone to replicate.

No major power respects nor cares about international law.

Intellectual property is part of WTO agreements but enforcement is domestic.

US companies do it too, regularly, they simply hire and poach staff from competitors.

Proving it to be IP theft is difficult unless you can prove documents being passed. But often all you need is the know-how of the hired talent.

Is the actual Z.AI ecosystem good enough to replace the main drivers like Codex and Claude? Because it looks like Z Code is just a Codex fork. Just like the Kimi Code one is. What irks me about this is that the harnesses seem to be just an afterthought here. Don't get me wrong, I love messing around with installing Pi, getting it hooked up with OpenRouter, and just trying all kinds of different stuff, local models, e…

There isn't one global "international law" for copyright. There are treaties that countries negotiate with each other.

If the USA wanted a copyright treaty with China bad enough, we would negotiate one. China is not breaking any laws here, international or otherwise.

Even Artificial Analysis has Opus 5 better than Fable in their aggregated "Intelligence Index" which combines 9 benchmarks. Opus 5 is heavily benchmaxxed.

> They should've just lead with real, up to date data, because it's good, not the silly old tactics like comparing to Opus 4.8 when 5.0 is out in many of their charts

It's what people know. Opus is just the common target.

The problem with this and DeepSWE is it goes for a very specific profile. I'm not convinced DeepSWE is any accurate in actual work. It's surely a different signal (compared to some that allow cheating) but it has its own issues, e.g. weak harness.

Luna is great at following instructions but bad instructions or anything not covered = death.

Deepseek is more analytical. Good for bug tracking.

GLM is a better all rounder in some ways. Better at creativity.
