It doesn't beat DS v4.1, and they have so much more compute capacity than any Chinese company, yet still cannot even beat MiniMax M3.1 Flash (220B) despite having 2.7x more parameters (596B).

I wouldn't bet on the numbers of compute reported by Chinese labs. Those Singapore Nvidia orders had to go somewhere.

MiniMax M3.1 Flash is 428B total parameters, so the size ratio is more like 1.4x. Model card here: https://huggingface.co/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M3.1-Flash
The number HF calculates from the safetensors metadata is often wrong (e.g. counting u8-packed 4-bit weights as half a weight each) so you need to take the number from the actual model card.
