Chinese AI startup MiniMax is going public this week at a $7 billion valuation. But its model flopped in my testing. I ran MiniMax through three tests with real world questions. These are harder to game than benchmarks. Let me show you where MiniMax does well and where it struggles……

I ran OpenAI’s new GPT 5.2 through a three round test. It still scores below Grok and Gemini. Some of GPT-5.2’s responses are excellent. But the quality of its answers are inconsistent. Let me show you where this model excels and where it falls short… Round #1: Learning About Needle…

This morning, I tested OpenAI’s new GPT-5.1. It still falls behind the best models from xAI, Google, and Kimi. When I tested GPT-5 in August it performed poorly, notching a C-. It gave me outdated data and struggled to cite sources. OpenAI claims that GPT-5.1 is better at reasoning and…
