Fable 5 totally crushed our new contest, but it cost 6x more than Opus 4.8! We gave 4 models the same prompt: build three self-contained HTML5 canvas scenes with real physics demos Prompts: — A train derailing off a broken bridge into the water — Two cars jumping off ramps and colliding mid-air over a canyon — A monster truck crushing a row of parked cars Outputs: Fable 5: 62,158 tokens, $3.12 GPT 5.5: 37,753 tokens, $1.14 Opus 4.8: 22,280 tokens, $0.56 GLM 5.2: 36,246 tokens, $0.08 Fable 5 did all three scenes at A+. The crashes looked real, things fell and broke the right way, and nothing went through the ground or floated. GPT 5.5 was the closest to Fable. In the Bigfoot show, we think GPT was even a little better. GLM 5.2 did not win any scene, but it was the cheapest by far. Fable is the best pick for quality, but you pay more for it.

New Claude Sonnet 5 performs at GPT 5.5 level 6x cheaper! We gave 4 models the same prompt: build three self-contained HTML5 canvas scenes with real physics crash demos Prompts: - A car crashes into a brick wall - A wrecking ball destroys a house - A catapult throws a rock at a castle wall Outputs: Sonnet 5: 15,047 tokens, $0.15 Opus 4.8: 23,063 tokens, $0.58 Sonnet 4.6: 25,824 tokens, $0.39 GPT 5.5: 31,152 tokens, $0.94 Sonnet 5 did as well as Opus 4.8 and GPT 5.5 on all three tests. In the wrecking ball test, it beat Opus 4.8. The cable moves smoothly and every hit connects. In the catapult test, it beat GPT 5.5. The rock always lands inside the wall. Sonnet 5 still needs better detail and graphics. But it used fewer tokens than every other model

Sakana Fugu surprisingly performed near GLM 5.2 level but 17× more expensive! We gave the same prompt to 4 models: build a complete live Trader Desk with both frontend and backend components, real-time market data fetched from external APIs for 8 symbols, and a custom dark-theme UI. Outputs: Fugu Ultra — 22,225 t, $0.51 Opus 4.8 — 15,802 t, $0.31 GPT-5.5 — 11,474 t, $0.26 GLM 5.2 — 13,677 t, $0.03 Fugu created the most polished and feature-rich trading desk in the run. GLM 5.2 was very close behind, with a similarly complete multi-panel interface and live data, but at a much lower cost. Opus and GPT also performed well, delivering solid results with a better balance between quality and cost

Qwen 3.7-max beats Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5 We tested three frontier models on a real agentic task: write a Tetris bot that plays the game and trains itself. Each model could read its own code, run benchmarks, and rewrite itself across 10 iterations. Then we compared the final bots head to head. Qwen 3.7-Max: training cost $1.32, bot improvement +56% Claude Opus 4.7: training cost $12.15, bot improvement +28% GPT-5.5: training cost $2.85, bot improvement +7% Qwen won on every dimension - biggest jump, 9× cheaper than Claude, 2× cheaper than GPT. Long agentic loops is where Qwen Max actually delivers.

Nemotron 3 Ultra performed GPT 5.5 level 10× cheaper We gave three same prompts to build HTML5 canvas with real physics. At first scene we have water in a spinning drum. Galton board - balls through pegs into bins. And a block collision setup with extreme mass differences. Outputs: Nemotron 3 Ultra: 11.3k tokens, $0.051 GPT 5.5: 11.0k tokens, $0.57 Nemotron stays right on GPT 5.5's heels, but at 10× cheaper. The gap in quality is far smaller than the gap in price.

Mistral OCR 4 turned a handwritten calculus exam into clean LaTeX! We gave it a photo of a hand-written exam page. The model read the handwriting and rebuilt every formula into structured digital text Output: Time: 5.1s · Cost: $0.09 Formulas came through exactly right - the hard part was nailed. The graph, unfortunately, it didn’t redraw. But that’s the telling part: most OCR tools just dump the text and quietly drop the figure. OCR 4 caught the plot, boxed it, and tagged it as a chart. It doesn’t get redrawn, but it gets read and accounted for

MTP speedup Qwen by 2.5x in Atomic Chat Dense vs MoE models on 2x RTX 5090 Qwen3.6 27B: 51 → 117 tps +137% Qwen3.6 35B-A3B: 218 → 267 tps +25% MTP drafts several tokens ahead and verifies them in one pass. The speedup depends on memory moved per pass. Dense 27B reads all 27B params per token, MoE 35B-A3B only reads 3B active. Dense had way more to save by batching. The baseline tps also differ (218 vs 51) for the same reason from the other side. Token generation is memory-bandwidth bound, and MoE moves ~8x less memory per token, so its baseline is already 4x ahead. ~80% draft acceptance. Zero accuracy loss. ~1 GB extra VRAM. Open-source code and local AI app – in the comments 👇

New Hunyuan Hy3 hits Gemini 3.5 quality on physics for 35x cheaper! We gave 4 models the same prompt: build three self-contained HTML5 canvas scenes with real physics demos Prompts: - A bowling ball knocking down the pins - An air hockey rally that ends in a goal - A pool break scattering the rack Outputs: Hunyuan Hy3: 29,757 tokens, $0.006 Gemini 3.5: 23,300 tokens, $0.21 GLM-5.2: 25,454 tokens, $0.07 DeepSeek-V4: 50,600 tokens, $0.009 Tencent's Hy3 matched Gemini across all three: clean collisions, the puck bounced true, the pins scattered like a real strike, the rack broke with real momentum, nothing clipped or floated. GLM is genuinely strong on pure coding tasks, but the moment the job steps outside clean code it gives way. DeepSeek was the letdown, it burned the most tokens of anyone (50k, almost 2x Hy3) and still turned in the weakest scenes

Laguna S 2.1 performs at GLM-5.2 level on building popular games with 6x fewer params! We gave three local models the same task: build three popular arcade games that play themselves. Each game is one self-contained HTML file with a bot that plays it. Prompts: – Geometry Dash – Doodle Jump – Air Hockey Outputs: Laguna S 2.1: 10.3K tokens GLM-5.2: 26.4K tokens Hy3: 10.4K tokens Laguna held its quality against a 753B model. We think Laguna's Geometry Dash looked the best of the three, the cube clears every spike and block. GLM won Air Hockey. Its table looked the most detailed of all. Hy3 was the only model that added shooting to its Doodle Jump. But Laguna is the only model in our benchmark that runs on a MacBook with 128GB!

It also ran ~2x faster, wrapping the full agentic request in 6.9s against 15s. That's what 38T training tokens buy: a 1B-active MoE that nails the agentic tool calls a model 2.5x its active size keeps dropping
