After being stuck with using GPT-5.6 models for the past few weeks, I have renewed faith in Google and everyone but OpenAI. The GPT-5.6 models are quite obviously benchmarkmaxxed to make they seem like they are intelligent but they are quite dumb outside anything that not a benchmarked task.

I also think Google is still the best at fitting the most overall intelligences into their models, but for some reason it seems like the model architecture is just bad.
