A viral post notes DeepSeek's new model rocketed to 6th place on OpenRouter usage within a day. Commentator teortaxesTex argues benchmark scores and real usage diverge: MiMo V2.6 had a public RL run and strong scores but few demos, while the minorly updated V4.1 is "the biggest open step since K3" by actual usage.
