Cognition FrontierCode chart pits Mistral Large 4 vs Chinese open models, sparking debate
onetwoval · x · 2026-10-30
The poster shares a Cognition FrontierCode 2.0 coding benchmark chart: Mistral Large 4 leads at 19.7%, with DeepSeek V4.1 Flash close behind at 19.3%, GLM-5.3 at 17.8%, Kimi K3 at 17.3%, GLM-5.3 Flash at 14.2%, and Beam 1.0 at just 2.9%.
In the quoted reply, @dannycantalk argues that a model needing both the "open weights" and "outside of China" qualifiers to matter is "completely irrelevant — there is never a reason to use it," while the poster mocks that qualifier. A typical X spat over the real competitiveness of Chinese open-weight models.
