today, july 16th, 2026, is the day that chinese open source models have caught up to american closed source frontier models.
this is the part of the rocket launch where you start seeing the rocket lift off after all the cool initialization rocket boosts are over.
1. what
@MTSlive
SITUATION UPDATE: Kimi K3 has taken first place on Code Arena, surpassing Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol.
i wonder what @sama has cooking for the 10M milestone
@sama
hello! x.com/thsottiaux/sta…
you can see the effects of model intelligence regarding openai's allowing of 3rd party harnesses vs. anthropic's harness lock (regarding their plans ofc)
openai's models run remarkably well on all sorts of 3rd party harnesses where anthropic's are ~trash outside of claude code
hey @thsottiaux please please PLEASE keep the 5hr limit thing in the past, the stress of worrying about hitting the 5hr limit has affected many workflows
not having that 5hr limit stress anymore and a single simple 1 week usage bar is GOATED. please keep it 🙏
nightmare fuel
it's over boys
@thsottiaux
@ClaudeDevs I smell fear
these are reasoning traces from openai gpt 5.5 high, first time I have ever seen them like this. no further reasoning showing up. this is within my custom pi.
super weird. maybe some sort of secret testing of 5.6 before tomorrow's launch?
if you're watching the current openai livestream and you're still not convinced that openai is leagues ahead in everything ai, then you're a lost cause
They close at 8pm for a reason and it’s a reason most people don’t like talking about
@mattfreed
SF will never be a tier 1 city for as long as the restaurants continue to close at 8pm
surely tomorrow we get gpt 5.6?
