Beats opus 4.6! They missed claiming the frontier by a few days.

While I'm skeptical of any "beats opus" claims (many were said, none turned out to be true), I still think it's insane that we can now run close-to-SotA models locally on ~100k worth of hardware, for a small team, and be 100% sure that the data stays local. Should be a no-brainer for teams that work in areas where privacy matters.

Even the smaller quantized models which can run on consumer hardware pack in an almost unfathomable amount of knowledge. I don't think I expected to be able to run a 'local Google' in my lifetime before the LLM boom.

Opus is clearly a sidegrade meant to help Anthropic manage cost, so I would say they may have it if it actually beats 4.6

Could be right. I just noticed my feed is absent the usual flood of posts demoing the new hotness on 3D modeling, game design and SVG drawings of animals on vehicles.

Wow, if the benchmarks checkout with the vibes, this could almost be like a Deepseek moment with Chinese AI now being neck and neck with SOTA US lab made models

With the previous generation? Yes. With 10T mythos-level models? Not even close.

The psyop continues. Mythos until it’s released is vaporware. Notice how you can try kimi 2.6. Where is the same for mythos?

Mythos isn't the current generation, it's literally vaporware.

K2.5 was already pretty decent so I would try this. Starting at $15/month: https://www.kimi.com/membership/pricing edit: Note that you can run it yourself with sufficient resources (e.g., companies), or access it from other providers too: https://openrouter.ai/moonshotai/kimi-k2.6/providers

How are the usage limits compared to Anthropic?
