<p>Adding my five cents: initial usage through OpenRouter has been great. Very fun model to spar with, clever, intelligent. On par with Opus 5.5 but without the Claudism's and more of a Sol type of conversation. Though speaking of Sol, I've been very dissapointed with Sol 6.1 to the extent that I feel OpenAI has neutered it compared to a few months ago. Especially when giving it goals it will happily run in dumb circles just burning tokens without any real work.</p>

<p>What I and my team have been doing in papers is just to refer to the OpenRouter slugs. It upsets reviewers because they will complain it "is not sufficiently clear to a wider audience" but I do agree it's the cleanest approach.
Also goes to prove how much power OpenRouter has actually...</p>

<p>The input attribution part is interesting though, but I do wonder to which extent that is just assigning some sort of SHAP values to the input tokens, in which case it should be pretty portable to any kind of model.</p>

<p>My personal feel (completely subjective) is that during RLHF humans are incredibly sensitive to this pattern, especially when talking about personal or emotional issues. Any reply in the form of "it's not you, it's them" is such a dopamine hit that the LLMs started applying it for everything else.</p>

<p>Oh I see what you mean now, indeed:<p><pre><code>    Score: 7

However, I think that you do not need 'time' based variables in the form of<p><pre><code>    reachable(x,y,t) = reachable(nx,ny,t-1)
</code></pre>
Enforcing connectivity through single-commodity flows is IMO better to enforce flood fill (also introduces additional variables but is typically easier to solve with CP heuristics):<p><pre><code>    Score: 2

<p>Late, but reading all of the replies, and speaking from my own observation using Claude, Codex, as well as (non-CLI) Gemini, Kimi, Qwen, and Deepseek...<p>It's fun how we are so quick to assign meaning to the way these models act. This is of course due to training, RLHF, available tool calls, system prompt (all mostly invisible) and the way we prompt them.<p>I've been wondering about a new kind of benchmark how one would be able to extract these more intangible tendencies from models rather than well-controlled "how good at coding is it" style environments. This is mainly the reason why I pay less and less attention to benchmark scores.<p>For what it's worth: I still best converse with Claude when doing code. Its reasoning sounds like me, and it finds a good middle ground between conservative and crazy, being explorative and daring (even although it too often exclaims "I see the issue now!"). If Anthropic would lift the usage rates I would use it as my primary. The CLI tool is also better. E.g. Codex with 5.1 gets stuck in powershell scripts whilst Claude realizes it can use python to do heavy lifting, but I think that might be largely due to being mainly on Windows (still, Claude does work best, realizing quickly what environment it lives in rather than trying Unix commands or powershell invocations that don't work because my powershell is outdated).<p>Qwen is great in an IDE for quick auto-complete tasks, especially given that you can run it locally, but even the VSCode copilot is good enough for that. Kimi is promising for long running agentic tasks but that is something I've barely explored and just started playing with. Gemini is fantastic as a research assistant. Especially Gemini 3 Pro points out clear and to the point jargon without fear of the user being stupid, which the other commercial models are too often hesitant to do.<p>Again, it would be fun to have some unbiased method to uncover some of those underlying persona's.</p>
