[Artificial Analysis @ArtificialAnlys]

GPT-5.6 Sol and Luna are ahead of Terra at every point on the Intelligence vs Cost per Task chart. GPT-5.6 Luna stands out as a particularly cost efficient model

Charting the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index shows the trade-off between intelligence and Cost per Intelligence Index Task. Across reasoning efforts, each GPT-5.6 model pushes past GPT-5.5 on the Pareto frontier (excluding non-reasoning).

However, Luna and Sol are always ahead of Terra. This means for any Terra effort level, there is a Luna or Sol effort level that is more intelligent at no extra cost, or as intelligent at lower cost.

@stevie_builds What are you using for it to interface with Blender and why? MCP, CLI, Computer Use?

I used the MCP from https://t.co/ACipthTWg6 back on 5.5 with pretty good success, though for nothing as complicated as you got here. Saw a post earlier using it via Computer Use with Sol

[Jonathan Poltak Samosir @poltak_]

@ChrissGPT Why use Computer Use over one of the Blender MCPs or CLIs?

@oli_tools @danshipper @vince_d_boer @martinrue @ivan__bits Just listened to the latest @NerdSnipePod ep on it. Excited!

@vince_d_boer why are you ditching Claude Code for OpenCode?

[Kevin Rudd @MrKRudd]

On the eve of the election, the Murdoch media dialled their anti-Labor bias up to the max. 51 articles favouring the Liberals, 5 to Labor. At the campaign’s onset, Murdoch’s CEO Michael Miller said there was ‘no one NewsCorp view’. What total BS. A protection racket for the LNP.

Neither we nor 25pp would be so stupid to make money by hacking users paypal account via jailbreak tool. We hope to find out the truth asap.

Our power cables do not fray; the wires simply expose themselves during use, providing a personal reminder that it’s time to buy a new one.

[TaiG_Jailbreak @taig_jailbreak]

After the release of iOS8.4, TaiG’s exploit isn’t blocked. BUT PP stole TaiG’s exploit for a jailbreak. The act should be strongly condemned
