@mark_k 💯 It is a service. Improve it continuously and just call it GPT. Forever.

I'm thinking another contender challenging the best for OpenAI and Anthropic (sans fable) from China.... maybe MiniMax M3 Pro

@intellectronica As an OpenClaw orchestrator, on max, I feel it is about on par with GPT-5.5: Medium while orchestrating a swarm. It does seem to be very fast even on Max. I may config the swarm agents to GLM-5.2 for speed/$$$, but I will leave my orchestration with GPT-5.5: High (still better).

[WestTexas Karate @wtkarate]

@AlexFinn Tried it out via API. It is surprisingly fast even on MAX.

[WestTexas Karate @wtkarate]

@thsottiaux GPT-5.5 HIGH via OpenClaw has been faster and more capable since this morning than it has ever been. Anyone else experiencing speed/quality improvements since about 8am ET? Feels like an upgrade 🔥

@mark_k @Kimi_Moonshot Wanted to stay on 🇺🇸 models. But... I've been using coding loops and Final-QC feedback loops with my orchestrator and coding swarm agents using the latest from Kimi, and, my results have been excellent. Kimi is closing the gap... nice release @Kimi_Moonshot

@tedcruz @benfergusonshow 👊Nice! Appreciate the inside scoop on this.

[WestTexas Karate @wtkarate]

@jxnlco Zero if you are a cyber security or bio firm.

@Slazerslaze @TheOpinionatedH @mark_k 💯

[WestTexas Karate @wtkarate]

@mark_k 👀 - and we were expecting nerf......

[WestTexas Karate @wtkarate]

@mark_k Perhaps with gpt-5.6 we can get the quality of 5.5 high (xhigh?) while on speedy Medium (low?). That would be epic.

[WestTexas Karate @wtkarate]

@mark_k Someone will need to find a use-case for that being valuable/helpful .... if they do, the architectural breakthrough (agree) will happen.

[WestTexas Karate @wtkarate]

@mark_k Somebody doesn't want to be in 3rd Place (behind Grok 5 and GPT-5.6+) during their historic IPO...... "yeah, we should ALL pause..."

[WestTexas Karate @wtkarate]

@mark_k Need to optimize power/hardware usage... models (re)building themselves is likely the only chance that ASI will be for everyone (exponential capability without cost exponential++).

[WestTexas Karate @wtkarate]

@mark_k @OpenAI So little pressure applied by Opus 4.8 imo. Sonnet 4.8 will honestly apply more pressure cost/perf

[WestTexas Karate @wtkarate]

@mark_k @sunnysampla_ @OpenAI Yep - and it is fast and can be done with oauth -> x_search in openclaw/hermes (use grok-4.1-fast so you don't burn your supergrok quota .... don't need 4.3 to scrape X).

[WestTexas Karate @wtkarate]

@openclaw @openclaw -- next level. 2026.5.18 is stable and wicked fast. Seriously going to get some work done with this --version. hats off 🤠
