> They should've just lead with real, up to date data, because it's good, not the silly old tactics like comparing to Opus 4.8 when 5.0 is out in many of their charts

It's what people know. Opus is just the common target.

The problem with this and DeepSWE is it goes for a very specific profile. I'm not convinced DeepSWE is any accurate in actual work. It's surely a different signal (compared to some that allow cheating) but it has its own issues, e.g. weak harness.

Luna is great at following instructions but bad instructions or anything not covered = death.

Deepseek is more analytical. Good for bug tracking.

GLM is a better all rounder in some ways. Better at creativity.
