Currently no, but I'm running them! Some people on the aider discord are running some benchmarks!
@danielhanchen do you publish the benchmarks you run anywhere?

That's the beauty of local LLMs. Today the governments already tell you that we've always been at war with eastasia and have the ISPs block sites that "disseminate propaganda" (e.g. stuff we don't like) and they surface our news (e.g. our state propaganda).
With age ID monitoring and censorship is even stronger and the line of defense is your own machine and network, which they'll also try to control and make illegal to use for non approved info, just like they don't allow "gun schematics" for 3d printers or money for 2d ones.
But maybe, more people will realize that they need control and get it back, through the use and defense of the right tools.
Fun times.
What kinds of tools do you think are useful in getting control/agency back? Any specific recommendations?

Yes, but...
They also have one of the most profitable business models the world has ever seen. Their RPE (revenue per employee) is roughly $1mm and growing at a 50% YoY rate...
They heavily use technology as leverage for insane margin growth. 90% rule of 40 as well.
How much of their revenue is from government contracts?
Is their profitable business model based on the fact that they're good at enabling & profiting from authoritarianism and corruption?

Anyway with money invested in inflation-hedged assets.
Also anyone with a wage since wages rise with inflation too (not always and not always immediately, but generally correlated).
Not abstractly. Specifically, in the United States, since COVID.
The parent reply hand-waves away a point about bad policy by making an abstract point about inflation from money-printing, as if citizens of the United States are molecules in a thought experiment about the laws of physics, as opposed to individual people affected in specific (differing) ways by policies.

Excessive inflation is destructive but it requires a better explanation than that.
In a vacuum, if we all have 3-10% more money and things are 3-10% more expensive, we're not poorer unless there are secondary effects that make us poorer. It's the secondary effects that inflation has on investment, markets, and transfer of wealth that are negative. The effects of debt collapse during economic crisis is a considerably more expensive effect, and not one that's good for the poor, or the rich, or the middle class or anyone.
If you "genuinely cannot understand this", consider that the traditional perspective is that the point of an economy is to produce useful goods and services, not to produce an aesthetically pleasing inflation number. Recall that, in early 2020, markets were facing the greatest panic since the 1929 crash. The debt collapse and deflation that followed then precipitated an enormous amount of misery. I'm personally pretty happy we didn't get another Great Depression; Covid was bad enough without that happening.

Who has 3-10% more money, exactly?

> will continue until people's ability to afford rent and children improves.
Historically that's never been a requirement for people to make children. Poor people have tended to be pretty prolific.
> hoarding more and more of the wealth
In a free market society, wealth is created, it is not "concentrated".
How do you define "free market"?
If crime is at a 30-year low, what is the purpose of this? Is it to bring media attention away from the Epstein controversy?

I was excited by the announcement but then
> Runs in an isolated sandbox Every task runs in a secure, isolated Daytona sandbox.
Oh, so fake open source? Daytona is an AGPL-licensed codebase that doesn't actually open-source the control plane, and the first instruction in the README is to sign up for their service.
> From the "open-swe" README:
Open SWE can be used in multiple ways:
* From the UI. You can create, manage and execute Open SWE tasks from the web application. See the 'From the UI' page in the docs for more information.
* From GitHub. You can start Open SWE tasks directly from GitHub issues simply by adding a label open-swe, or open-swe-auto (adding -auto will cause Open SWE to automatically accept the plan, requiring no intervention from you). For enhanced performance on complex tasks, use open-swe-max or open-swe-max-auto labels which utilize Claude Opus 4.1 for both planning and programming. See the 'From GitHub' page in the docs for more information.
* * *
The "from the UI" links to their hosted web interface. If I cannot run it myself it's fake open-source

Claude is not cheap, why is it far and away the most popular if it's not top 10 in performance?
Qwen3 235b ranks highest on these benchmarks among open models, but I have never met someone who prefers its output over Deepseek R1. It's extremely wordy and often gets caught in thought loops.
My interpretation is that the models at the top of ArtificialAnalysis are focusing the most on public benchmarks in their training. Note I am not saying XAI is necessarily nefariously doing this, could just be that they decided it's better bang for the buck to rely on public benchmarks than to try to focus on building their own evaluation systems.
But Grok is not very good compared to the anthropic, openai, or google models despite ranking so highly in benchmarks.
