    Wow, those are seriously impressive numbers for how intelligent this model seems to be!

    One thing that this article doesn't clarify, and that I guess I really should look into, is what exactly AutomationBench tests for as compared to other benchmarks. The standout performance on AutomationBench is interesting to see, but I don't know what it really means because the model seems to score relatively close to other local models on every other benchmark.

    Love seeing the effort Liquid is putting into local models. I’m looking forward to a lot of progress here in the next 5 years

    That seems pretty decent. How many tokens/s do you need for a coding agent to feel like Claude or codex?

      it's kind of a loaded question, this model gets a lot of tok/s but reasoning is forced on; the time-to-answer is really a combination of things like "how much does this thing want to over-reason" and "how much does this thing like tool use?" .

      Claude code is 60-80 tps, codex varies by model but mostly 40-50 tps.

      I’d say only 65

    i'm gettin between 200-320 tok/s on a 5070ti with 131k context on llamacpp and no tuning.

    very nice.

    I can't speak to the intelligence of it yet.

    these small agentic-focused models are a lot of fun to play with if you haven't yet.
