I'd say answer , the opus is no longer undisputed. grok + gpt models are very competitive + glm if you are ok to wait 3-4 times longer, unless you have some unique access to GPU

cursor benchmarks with GPT 5.6 in picture, a good reason to stop using opus.

The good news you don't have to send your dollars to China to fund ai dictatorship, in russia, north korea, african countries and south america.

Yeah, that's what dictators explain, different cultural references . Guess what, there are several countries that revert their democratic processes, because of china tech and their success. This is a real path towards absolutely crazy people like putin with unlimited power due to ai.

curious to see tests if a new king of efficiency in town : cursor grok 4.5 and their harness too. Quite impressed by pi.dev

Its shocking how cost per token does not correlate with cost per task, it's wild to see opus and glm nearby on $ per task axis

I am , because it’s smart and extremely fast . Same way as opus 4.6 was an obvious game changer

They are not vocal because any political activism is not encouraged in China . Check jack ma story .

But the message is extremely obvious. They already offer the technical capabilities for digital dictatorship.

They offer to counties like Russia tools for big firewall , surveillance with llm.

So yes , if you pay money to China you directly sponsor putting people in jail for online activities in China , Russia , North Korea , many countries of Africa , South America , Belarus etc

It’s not about that , one person asked , another replied . The way he asked it doesn’t matter . He asked . You surrounded by people with different views to same problems .

What really puzzles me is this burning will to bend everyone else go online and demand something that only you think is right

Tried at work , this release def a moment I will remember. My work is not the same . The model is the first model that offer exactly as I want :

For hard tasks , that needs precision I will wait and pay expensive tokens

For everything else , query data , logs, rolling out releases , I’m using grok and it’s much better vs other tools and much cheaper too .

in cursor benchmark glm5.2 is on par with gpt 5.5 medium and sonnet for the same task from results and cost perspective.

The speed of generation for both gpt 5.5 medium and sonnet 5 will be dramatically faster. source : https://cursor.com/evals

I don't get the hype. It's near SOTA model that is not deepseek of this world. It an expensive to run model, and under certain tasks it is comparably cheap as closed source ones.

it is not an llm company, but it's part of independent ecosystem. one of two. canada is not part of it. it's part of very dependent ecosystem. isn't that 2+2?

are you seriously believe in that? when was last time they produced a model, that is at least in top 20?
maxdo

we are talking about LLM+hardware.

You as canada have only two options:

1) use closed sourced systems

2) use chinese models, with their own risks

3) hardware, i think it's clear.

Cohere is not even in the list of top competitors .

Canada and domestic product simply not possible The only two countries who can run domestic products of this kind are USA and China . The rest is just gimmick or a lie.

Are you seriously arguing that two loosely integrated systems, one of them needs a proper connection, battery state, ToS agreement accepted before you need to drive is better vs OS that integrate hardware, software, charging network and gives you 99.99% of functionality, including mobile app?

It's not even apples vs bananas. It's a rock vs computer.

- Just a single fact you don't have to deal with cable/bluetooth/charging troubles is already saves you hours of quality life over CarPlay. It's hours of life you enjoy driving, music. and yeah from that standpoint, CarPlay does not work.

- Internet: I use T-Mobile. My car use AT&T with very affordable bill, that single fact helped me to listen to music in remote areas where my cellphone din't work and other way around.

- Features like Joe mode simply not possible with CarPlay. And yes, i use it every time my kid is in the car.

- Theater mode & Karaoke. No brainer for kids. Turns your distant driving from Cry and Fight into fun family experience.

- Navigation + Charging. this integration alone saved me hours of life, because it route me automagically away from busy charging stations.

carPlay is Stockholm syndrome on wheels.

people have suffered through its clunky handshake for so long that they've started defending their captor.

My friend's $100k Audi makes him spend five minutes accepting terms of service just to enter a GPS destination. On contrary, he can hop into my Tesla and drive off instantly ...location already sent from my phone, key shared from the phone, but wow, no car play involved. One my friends owns android. No problem at all.

Well, not every car brand suck at that. My 6 y.o tesla still delivers me updates, and new features.

carPlay is a horrible every time you sit down inside of the car, you need to care about connectivity, if your phone charged etc. It's a neurotic habit.

As a tesla owner, i feel carPlay is such a dumb idea. you buy a car that cost ~$50k+ to rely on every drive on your phone. It's a freedom to be phone free.

And yeah, it's still integrated. My profiles are in sync, if my wife sit down in the car, it adjust the seat height, wheel, temperature , music etc. If I'm listening Spotify using my headphones it switches to car the moment i open the door etc.

yeah, sure, laws are just pointless things.

Lets move to caves and if I kill you first , i'm right, if not i lost. THat's your logic.

there is ToS, and every single person who is doing distillation knows it's illegal. Also on IP theft. There were several courts, in different countries they limit certain knowledge bases and thats it. so that entire claim is baseless.

Again this is the difference. A major book publisher brought ai companies to court and won. You can't doo anything with Chinese companies even if you are book publisher of this world.

Yeah that’s why Google lost 4 billion to EU for some elusive non competitive practices. Every single big tech us company is never out of court in eu. Good luck brining any of Chinese companies for distillation . They steal your IP , your data and you have 0 protection .
