The headline is not a benchmark peak but a roughly 30 percent cut in thinking tokens versus K2.6. It still trails GPT-5.5 and Opus 4.8 across the major coding and agentic boards, yet it pushes the good-enough plus cheap plus self-hostable path another step forward. The real bottleneck is still the lack of a usable English CLI.
