It is indeed cheaper, but perhaps also a bit worse than Sonnet 5.

Sonnet 5.5 is worse than Sonnet 5 on my adversarial esoteric language benchmark. Seems to be due to 5.5 wanting more reassurance from the user, rather than just pushing to complete the task given.

Not sure how that would tie into this. OnlyHumanHub isn't a PDS.

It's crazy that MiMo V2.6 Pro is both cheaper AND performs better than GPT-6 Sol. bench.killswitch-lang.org
MiMo V2.6 Pro with a 38.7% score.

Muse Spark 1.3 at 36.4%

GPT-6 Sol at 28%

I tested Xiaomi MiMo-V2.6 Pro on my LLM benchmark and it is the highest scoring open-weight model seen so far. Beats Muse Spark 1.3 on price. 👉 bench.killswitch-lang.org

The moderation on this platform is atrocious. A post inciting violence is still up after I reported it almost a month ago now. An account I created for my partner which only hosts a block list to protect them has been suspended and despite my pleas to their moderation email it hasn't been restored.

Looks like pypdf[crypto] installs fine using micropip in Pyodide's REPL, so I'd expect it to work with Python Workers too. Do let me know if you run into problems.

Dominik Picheta @dom96.picheta.me · 21/09/2026
Not restricted to the Pyodide-bundled set. But the package does need to be published for the PyEmscripten platform. This section of the blog post has more details on this: blog.cloudflare.com/python-worke... Definitely give it a try and let us know if you run into unsupported packages.

Today I am releasing KillSwitch: a new programming language designed to be difficult for LLMs to write, edit and understand. It makes for a great benchmark suite for LLM models and is a lot of fun to program in. Check it out 👇 killswitch-lang.org

One very striking thing watching this Channel 4 News / Verbatim investigation is…Nigel Farage and the people surrounding him are not exactly geniuses, are they? I mean this looks like blatant disregard for basic rules, but they've been caught out by the oldest trick in the book.

I’m still waiting on an account which only hosted a block list to be unsuspended. It has been a week. Your appeal email address still doesn’t look official, and it asks for photo ID! You’re begging your users to be phished.

Your moderation team’s lack of response to appeals and failure to take action on certain posts (like incitement of violence) is really disappointing. It’s crazy but I’ve seen posts being taken down on Twitter faster than more extreme posts on Bluesky.

Clearsky has a much tougher job than Listifications: they need to store tons of data. So I'm not surprised they're having trouble. Don't think bsky devs are doing anything. For what it's worth, I think they should. Blocks should have been private from the get go.
