My observations:

Surprised to see MiniMax M3 so low on that list, not really my experience, I found it smarter than Gemini for a lot of things, that's for sure.

Also surprised to see Gemini 3.1 ranked that high there. It remains IMHO blatantly incompetent for tool use even in their own harnesses, so I can only assume this benchmark isn't ranking workflow things very high. Gemini can write code just fine. It just can't work well as an agent.

GLM 5.2 and Qwen3.7 max were from my experience fairly expensive to use on a per token price and hard to argue in favour of when the SOTA coding plans have a fixed price that makes them potentially more cost effective. (Yes I know z.ai has a coding plan but I've heard reliability nightmare stories, and it's not very cheap)

DeepSeek is clearly the best value for $$. With the right harness and prompting.
