Unverified buzz: 'Argon' near Opus-tier, 'Terra 6.1' a cheap fast grunt-work model
banteg · x · 2026-11-01
An account claims two under-discussed models are worth watching: Argon, said to be close to Opus 5.5 tier and better than Claude at understanding system design, and Terra 6.1, described as cheap and fast for grunt work like fixing tickets or having a subagent read traces. Developer banteg amplified the take. Neither model is a known product from a major lab, so treat as unverified.
