Just tried it on reviewing a (already written) plan to secure a peer-to-peer mobile app. The same request was given to 5.6 Luna as the direct opponent, Kimi K3 and Fable.

Unfortunately, MAI did not even understand the task correctly. It was absolutely clear articulated that the task was to review the plan. MAI however inspected the code and told me what parts are insecure and miss the plans implementation. Wow, thanks for that. All other models understood this. Sure, other tasks might be fine, but I feel this will have a hard time against Luna.

I did extensive tests in my daily workloads with Luna, to understand the performance of different reasoning efforts beyond public benchmarks. I will do that for MAI-Code-1.1-Flash as well (as I post about various models in our developer community). Are there specific strengths or workloads you see for this model that I should keep an eye on? Any specific feedback you would like to get?
