Been using Luna exclusively since the price drop, and i've been very satified with all tasks from planning, writing code, and other agent tasks. (just change thinking level from low <-> ultra)

btw, I did try out Ox Alpha, the coding feels good but still not way better for me to switch to it.
Several factual errors about the model here. The input modalities are listed as text only, but the headline feature is image support. The context length should be 1048576 (so should GLM-5.3's, also wrong on the charts).
> So how exactly is Anthropic and OpenAI ever going to pay back the trillions that they plan on spending?
It's really simple: if they truly get to human-level AI (or even superhuman AI), then money and debts no longer matter, since our current economic system will be obsolete. They are betting everything on this outcome.
I don't know if they will manage to do it before their debts have to be repaid, but considering the rate of acceleration in the past few months, there is a non-trivial chance that they will, IMHO. We will see.
just like there were mistrals, coheres, llamas, etc, there will be new deepseeks and moonshots if those ever flame out (worst case, given out at cost by google, meta, alibaba or etc)
OpenAI and Anthropic are already in a ~200bil hole from previous model iterations and are committing to trillions of additional spending
OpenAI spent more TBPN than kimi spent on training K3
They are by all accounts, not. Z.ai for instance is a public company according to wikipedia. Moonshot AI is private but all their investors are private companies. Alibaba, as we all know, is a massive publicly traded tech conglomerate.
Moreover even if we take the more charitable view that they're controlled by the CCP, and therefore will continue releasing models for free, that seems as questionable as the prospect that private investors will continue shoveling money into anthropic/openai.
Shoveling 70% less money into a money pit is still shoveling money into a money pit. Not to mention that at least openai/anthropic has better prospects of making back the money because their models are proprietary, and won't be cannibalized by other companies serving the exact same models.
I expect they're going to fight each other to become the vendor of record for the government, and whoever wins will get bailed out. This is one area where they don't have to worry about competition from Chinese models.
I think most of us can see that the level of corruption we are seeing with the administration is quite historical. You can’t simply say “both administrations engaged in corruption” and consider the matter closed. Scale matters.
The analysis is still not compelling for me to switch from gtp5.6-luna to GLM-5.3-flash given
- costs per task $0.05 vs $0.09
- speed 130 vs 88
- where GLM has only 5 more intelligence point: at this point few point is meaningless for most of models

That's assuming that human-level AI is a possibility with current approaches.
You could ask the same about how z.ai, moonshot ai, minimax, and alibaba are going to continue training and releasing models for free.

They are owned by the state, so the economics are a bit different.

At a fraction of the cost.

Socialize the lost.They dont have to. You pay.

Why do you think tech oligarchs have been cozying up to the Trump admin? They're angling for a government bailout, paid for by your tax money!
Thy cozy up to whoever is in government. They cozy'd up with Biden too.

That's true. But it's been a while since an admin was as brazenly corrupt and the cozying up was so promising.
Better than the latest Deepseek v4 Pro while being 3x cheaper in cost per task. Impressive!
Impressive. It kicked everything between itself and Sol xhigh out of the Pareto frontier. Can't wait to try it out.
Can’t wait to try this out, and the only missing from this model for me is Image input support
It has image/video input support (that is surprisingly good)
Why does the top card say "Intelligence #1/173" when the bar chart further down shows it only at position 7?
And the model isn't even shown in the speed bar chart just below. Such slop (the artificial intelligence website linked)
