opus 4.5 is truly like magic, completely different type of intellience - not sure.
most of my experience with 4.5 is similar to codex 5.1, where I just have to scold it for being dumb and doing things I would have done as a teenager

According to https://github.com/IQuestLab/IQuest-Coder-V1/issues/14#issue... the result is still good after fixing the cheating problem. 76.2% (from 81.4%) which still beats Opus 4.5 (74.4%)!!
Unfortunately they seem to have neglected to update their front page readme with this information, continuing to mislead people: https://github.com/IQuestLab/IQuest-Coder-V1

it's not even close to sonnet 4.5, let alone opus.
I got their z.ai plan to test alongside my Claude subscription; it feels about on par with something between sonnet 4.0 and sonnet 4.5. It's definitely a few steps below current day Claude, but it's very capable.

z.ai (Zhipu AI) is a chinese run entity, so presumably China's National Intelligence Law put in place in 2018, which requires data exfiltration back to the government, would apply to the use of this. I wouldn't feel comfortable using any service that has that fundamental requirement.
Not living in China I'm not too concerned about the Chinese government

#45GLM-4.7 in opencode is the only opensource one that comes close in my experience and probably they did use some Claude data as I see the occasional You’re absolutely right in there

Do you see "What's your use-case" too? Claude spits that very regularly at the end of the answer, when it's clearly out of it's depth, and wants to steer discussion away from that blind-spot.

#47TL;DR is that they didn't clean the repo (.git/ folder), model just reward hacked its way to look up future commits with fixes. Credit goes to everyone in this thread for solving this: https://xcancel.com/xeophon/status/2006969664346501589 (given that IQuestLab published their SWE-Bench Verified trajectory data, I want to be charitable and assume genuine oversight rather than "benchmaxxing", probably an easy to miss…
> I want to be charitable and assume genuine oversight rather than "benchmaxxing", probably an easy to miss thing if you are new to benchmarking I don't doubt that it's an oversight, it does however say something about the researchers when they didn't look at a single output where they would have immediately caught this.

#49A 40B weight model that beats Sonnet 4.5 and GPT 5.1? Can someone explain this to me?

Perhaps being more intentional about adding a use case to your original prompts would make sense if you see that failure mode frequently? (Practicing treating LLM failures as prompting errors tends to give the best results, even if you feel the LLM "should" have worked with the original prompt).
