I already switched to a Chinese provider personally, I don't think the difference between both really justifies the wide gap in pricing

I'd be ecstatic if this was true, but nothing so far comes close to the SOTA models from OpenAI + highest reasoning, but I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong by testing it out myself.
So far, I've tried MiniMax M3, GLM 5.2, Hy3, MiMo-V2.5 (+ Pro), DeepSeek V4 Pro (+ Flash), Gemini 3, Kimi K2.6, GLM 5, all the various Qwen variants and probably a bunch more I forget about, in a wide array of harnesses (Codex, pi, opencode, my own and more), and still nothing seemingly comes close to GPT 5.5 (now 5.6) xhigh for tasks beyond 5-10 minutes of work, they all more or less collapse after a while in my experiments. Although most of those do work well for really tightly scoped tasks.
What specific model are you thinking about here, in case I've missed testing it?
