MiMo-2.6 RL'd for ~$3.5M (not B), both main and flash combined, that is dramatically less and top 10 on https://artificialanalysis.ai/

A frontier Ai is cheaper to make than a single 5/6th gen fighter jet, and maybe every fighter jet at this point.
Especially if you have millions of Opus 5.5 examples to train off of!
so tiring... you don't get to frontier from traces alone...
also, who cares, the world is a better place if there are more awesome models at cheaper prices built with more efficient means
we used to celebrate this kind of advancement, now it seems like astroturfing and belittling are the cool thing de jour
