Redditor Builds LLM Pareto Frontier Chart: Open Models Crushed in Image and Video Gen
DecidingToBeTheSame · reddit · 2026-09-27
Reddit user DecidingToBeTheSame built their own LLM Pareto frontier chart after tiring of coworkers hyping every rumored model drop. The chart includes a proper list of all rumored upcoming releases.
Two surprises stood out:
- MiniMax H3 scores far higher in video generation than expected
- Beyond that, open-weight models get consistently destroyed in image and video generation — the gap is much bigger there than in text
The author is collecting feedback to compile an honest model comparison.
