It's still laughable. They blew it. I'm not sure they could even pay me to use their models at this point (and I don't mean via employment, meta and its refugees are permabanned to me). My experience over the past few months with open models has me seriously entertaining moving east.

A couple of very talented friends were uttering curses upon the entire bloodline of whoever convinced them to try letting sol xhigh do serious work. Deepseek cleaned it up for a fraction of $20.

Since you did not compare them, I now checked myself, and it looks like Luna benchmarks about the same as DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731.

The cost per task was $0.03 with DeepSeek, $0.05 with Luna. $1.23 for Sol.

Tokens per second 132, 202, 70 respectively.
