Where's Scip? it's performance relative to CPLEX was pretty good for the problems I threw at it.

I do datacenter optimization at Google and SCIP is ~2 orders of magnitude slower than Gurobi for our problems.

That makes sense. I don't think google can count as low as my number of optimization variables.

HiGHS for MIP is meaningfully faster than than SCIP after 18 months, and will get a lot better. SCIP's native LP solver is just simplex (and slower than HiGHS). For these problems you need interior point, and HiGHS is much the best open-source interior point solver for them.
