I think the original DeepSeek moment seemed important. And yes, the more recent model is good, but there are multiple. This commodification trend spans many different companies, including Kimi 2.5/2.6 and GLM5.1, and even Google itself with its Gemma models. There are a dozen models that exist at roughly the frontier from 6 months ago at 1/10th the cost.

no disagree, specifics matter.. There are a dozen well-defined LLM application subject areas that are regularly tested.. one overall grade IMO lacks important detail..
