Wësche(@WescheNex1q):Deepseek v4.1 vs Qwen-next Same Eiffel Tower prompt, two local models on 2 DGX Sparks, thinking on. DeepSeek V4.1 Flash wrote 114K tokens in 49 min and the code ran first try: real cross-braced lattice, the Seine bend, La Défense in the haze. Qwen3.8 Flash Next was faster (77K tokens in 21 min) but needed 3 code fixes to run, and the river never shows.

🚨 Opus 5.5: Today vs. At Launch — Nerfed? 👀 With everyone talking about a possible nerf, I had to test it myself! I reran the Eiffel Tower benchmark, and honestly, I prefer the launch result. It honestly feels like Opus 5.5 got little nerfed. The tower itself might have slightly better detail now, but the surrounding buildings, trees, river, and overall scene look noticeably worse to me. One run doesn’t prove a nerf, but this comparison surprised me. I want to see whether the same pattern shows up in the night train benchmark next! 🚂🌙 What do you think: nerf or normal variation? 🤔
