Oof, SWE-rebench is brutal for recent Chinese releases M2.5 reported 80.2% on SWE-bench verified against 80.8% for Opus 4.6, but it seriously underperforms here Qwen3-Coder-Next looks good with 40% and only 80B A3B parameters

London! Actually, a lot of people were interested in healthcare, so I referred your OpenMed initiative (expect my invoice in your DMs)

Lots of interest around small models! It was a pleasure ranting about AI and talking about your use cases. Thanks to @josephinePqt1 and the AI Circle for inviting me!
