That's versus Opus 5.5 max effort, no? Opus high has the closest cost and intelligence characteristics and generates far fewer output tokens per task than the one Kimi 3.1 Pro effort level we have data for.

This is very cool. Unfortunate that it gives the wrong pronunciation when words get split in a line wrap (e.g., 大学 got split between lines and changed to incorrect furigana for me).

The Internet says they have a 27% stake. Where'd you get your number from?

A whole section of the article is about this. "Can Land Value Tax Be Passed on to Tenants?"

This definition of cost is not particularly useful. You want cost per task, not cost per 1m tokens. Artificial Analysis does a good job of this.

Yes, the first sentence of the article.

This is true, and it's a good point. I agree that open weight model regulation would either limit the intelligence of open weight models below the frontier or kill them entirely. It would not prevent closed weight Chinese models, but those aren't really tenable in American enterprises unless they strike deals with American cloud providers to deploy them, via products like Bedrock. I unfortunately also have seen no evidence that we can put any sort of guardrails on open weight models whatsoever and so am reluctantly convinced that they should be regulated below the frontier until such a time as someone comes up with a mechanism that is not circumventable.

Please elaborate on what the AI labs are specifically requesting and how that results in slowing down Chinese model progress below the frontier.

That's what pacing the frontier is, and is what the labs are pushing for.

Please explain how putting an upper bound on how good the strongest models can be prevents cheaper less strong models from catching up, rather than enabling it. I do not understand this argument at all.

claude.md predates agents.md.

Every turn means more tokens in ways that are not obvious to most people and lead to tons of unnecessary cache reads.

No harness can batch your agents.md read with the reads the contents of the file tell it to read.

This wastes both tokens and turns. But yes it's probably the best option we have today.

3 of those are already in there.

I can't imagine that they had managed access to the internet but could not figure out how to contact anyone at the company if they wanted to.
