Insane. We got close to Opus 4.5 at home >70 tokens/s

MiniMax 2.5 full precision FP8 running LOCALLY on vLLM x 8x Pro 6000 🔥 Hosting it is easier then I thought, it just reuse the same script for M2.1. Time to do the vibe coding test! Generation: 70 tokens-per-sec and 122 tokens-per-sec for two conneciton Peak Memory: 728GB

smells benchmaxxed, and it'll be a carbon fossil by the time the general public gets access
Gemini 4 Carbon is our next frontier model. It’s state-of-the-art across cybersecurity and long-horizon capabilities.

Opus 5.5 > Gemini 4 Carbon
First impressions of Gemini 4 Carbon’s preview by @GoogleDeepmind are in. @petergostev just put it through a long run of 3D generations, creative prompts, visual explainers and UI tasks, compared against Gemini 4 Argon, Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6.1 Sol, Muse Wonderful, Kimi and DeepSeek.

Announcing Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5, featuring 2 new benchmarks and 3 upgrades. For the first time, the majority of the Index is built on private datasets The Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index is our composite measure of model capabilities across tasks reflecting real-world usage today. v5 is our biggest upgrade since v4 launched in January. With v5, 60% of the Index is now based on evaluations with private test sets or held-out answers. Alongside Intelligence Index v5, we’re launching the Artificial Analysis Progress Index v1, which tracks model capability over time on one continuous scale. New to the Intelligence Index: ➤ FrontierCode 2.0: Cognition's newly-launched private benchmark of real-world coding tasks, graded on whether a repository maintainer would merge the agent's change ➤ Terminal-Bench-Science: 70 agentic scientific research tasks, run in a terminal environment Upgraded: ➤ HLE-Diamond (replacing Humanity's Last Exam): a refined 1,000-question version of Humanity's Last Exam, split evenly between reasoning and knowledge questions ➤ AA-Omniscience v1.1: An updated dataset with saturated and public set questions removed, new questions added, and ambiguous or erroneous questions revised ➤ CritPt v2: a private, 40-question hard subset of CritPt v2, revised by the CritPt authors and run with a code-execution tool Staying in the Index: AA-Briefcase, AutomationBench-AA, GDP.pdf and Terminal-Bench 4.0 Removed from the Index: GDPval-AA v2.1, SciCode, and AA-LCR v1.1 Key results: ➤ Claude Opus 5.5 (max) leads at 58, ahead of GPT-6 Astra (max, 57) and GPT-6.1 Sol (max, 55): Anthropic and OpenAI hold the top five models. Gemini 4 Argon (high) is next at 50 ➤ The open weights gap widens from 3 points to 12: Kimi K3.1 Pro (weights not yet released) is the top open weights model at 46. Among released weights, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 (max) and GLM-5.3 (max) lead at 32 - 26 points behind the leader and below Claude Haiku 5.5 (max, 36) ➤ Cost per task varies by more than 13x among the leading models: of the 10 highest-scoring models shown, GPT-6.1 Terra (max) is the cheapest at $0.96 per Intelligence Index task and Claude Fable 5.1 (max) the most expensive at $13.04

If OpenAI’s post below leaves you unsure when to use GPT-6.1 Terra vs. Sol or Astra, OAI researcher @sandersted has some helpful guidance (via HN):
Replying to @OpenAI
GPT-6.1 Terra substantially outperforms GPT-5.6 Terra on Agents’ Last Exam, a test of how well agents use software at work. It even matches GPT-6 Astra at one-tenth the price per token and finishes tasks over 3× faster on average than both Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol.

Feels like OpenAI flexing on Sonnet 5.5, Anthropic's own middle child. Terminal-Bench 4.0 cost-per-task makes the case for Terra even harder.
GPT-6.1 Terra: delivering fast and capable computer use at a lower price. GPT-6.1 Terra understands what’s on screen, takes action across apps, writes naturally, and is a more capable model for your whole workday with the efficiency to take on more of it.

still the weird middle child between a much better GPT-6 Luna and a much cheaper GPT-6.1 Sol. GPT-6.1 Terra follows the same ~75% price-cut trajectory as GPT-5.6 Sol → GPT-6.1 Sol, now half the price of GPT-6.1 Sol.

nothing motivates a frontier model release quite like Wall Street. Fable 5.5 this week.

Anthropic generated $2.08 in revenue for every $1 of compute and infrastructure expense in Q2 2026 alone. the payback period for compute is just cray!

Anthropic appears convinced that demand is substantial and that today's demand is only an early indication of what's coming.

Anthropic infrastructure commitments is enormous

Blender bench: Kimi K3.1 Pro vs. Opus 5.5, GPT-6.1 Sol, Astra, Fable 5.1, and DeepSeek V4.1-Flash K3.1 is slightly better than K3 at 3D work, but still behind the current frontier. Cost: $9.04, more expensive than GPT-6.1 Sol. Build time: 73 min, close to GPT-6.1 Sol.
DeepSeek V4.1-Flash-1017 vs. Opus 5.5, GPT-6.1 Sol, Astra, and Fable 5.1. Same task: recreate Adidas Adizero Adios Pro in Blender from studio shots, then build a real brand's website. Eval cost, efficiency, 3D accuracy, render fidelity, design taste. Prompt below

all tests and conclusions are my own. i've seen some drama around K3.1 Pro and people being told not to use the "paid partnership" label. this is why we cant have nice things. hate what this site has become. makes me not want to post more often.

Kimi K3.1 Pro is fast. 2–3x faster than K3. 5 min. $0.55. They fixed the overthinking. A pretty well-rounded model. Tested against Opus 5.5, Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol, Sonnet 5.5, DeepSeek V4.1-Flash, and more. Design taste now feels closer to Astra-class models. 5x cheaper than Astra. 3x cheaper than Opus 5.5. Cost the same as GPT-6.1 Sol. Open models are closing in on the frontier in 3D work. More below.

High vs. Max reasoning effort in 3D design and spatial reasoning. Max pays more attention to detail. High missed the shelter in the pagoda garden scene. I prefer DeepSeek 1107's vibe over K3.1's. Of the models I've tested, DeepSeek's aesthetic feels closest to Astra's.
