To understand microsoft IA problems right now, observe that NONE of the models announced are available for use even in the microsoft foundry, which is the place were you add models to your account.

I understand github copilot rollout takes time, but why can't we consume the models via microsoft own api after launching?

Anthropic models are available at foundry the same moment they are launched, but not Microsoft's own models.

Does anyone actually uses these smaller models for coding? If so, how? I usually Opus everything. Is the play to plan/design/architect with a heavier model than delegate structured tasks to these smaller ones? Would appreciate to hear someone's opinion on having done and tested both paths.

Unless you are token rich, you'll have to find a way pretty soon.

For tasks (like kubernetes, linux, reports, database exploration and such) I use GLM5.1. Faster is actually smarter in those cases. And much cheaper too.

Opus 4.8 is for the unknown. Things I don't know how to do myself.

not open weight or at least I did not find anything indicating open weight

Tomorrow NVIDIA will publish Nemotron 3 Ultra, which will be the biggest open weights LLM from a US company (550B parameters). The early testers have confirmed that it is much better than all earlier US open weights models, but it is not as good as the best Chinese open weights models. While Nemotron 3 Ultra is not the smartest open weights LLM, it is well optimized for fast inference, so it is much faster than the o…

> it is well optimized for fast inference

do you have any insight into the actual technical details that make this sort of things possible? I want to learn more about model architectures. Does it have to do with attention mechanisms or sparsity or something?

To understand microsoft IA problems right now observer the parent comment. It is literally false [1] but somehow creates a whole story of Microsoft inaptitude.

Huh, according to that model card this is a 137B total parameter model. Performance doesn't seem that good: - MAI-Code-1-Flash (137B-A5B) = 51% on SWE-bench pro - Qwen3.6-35B-A3B = 49.5% on SWE-bench pro ( https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B ) They benchmark against Claude Haiku but Haiku is not good, it's worse than tiny open models you can run locally or via API at 10% the cost.

Qwen is definitely the model to beat as of Mid 2026. While I didn't benchmark with SWE as my use cases are OpenClaw [1]. I found both Qwen 3.6 35B A3B and more impressively Qwen 3.5 122B A10B starting to be competitive with closed flash models. The NVFP4 quant of the latter is what I'm running now on DGX. [1] https://srinathh.medium.com/mid-size-local-models-are-now-co...

How does qwen compare to deepseek or kimi? I haven't spent much time with qwen but I find deepseek to be mostly comparable to opus for my pet projects. Kimi k2.6 did a lot of stupid stuff and talked to itself a lot "let me do X... Wait, X doesn't make sense because the user explicitly said Y"

Deepseek seems to seek first to understand before going off.

Thanks, so in this case the value of "code fomatting" is using a fixed-width font ? The next question is where did the "ASCII-art" graph and table come from? Are there sites to generate these?
