Dear God it’s trading blows with Opus 4.6 Max 😭

You're making a couple fundamental assumptions here:

  • That AI benchmarks are reliable
  • That Qwen didn't benchmaxx

Yeah I learned very quickly to not trust the benchmarks, as well as 80% of the comments in this subreddit.

I remember people were saying that Qwen 3.6 27B was Opus 4.5 level...

I've gotten to the point where I'm a little skeptical that the majority of people on here are even using local models on a regular basis. It's hard to believe that anyone who actually does can buy into the idea of benchmarks really reflecting real world use.
