“Achieving high scores” does not equate to “being able to deliver”: AI rankings are undergoing a reassessment of credibility.

Old benchmarks approach perfect scores, yet new benchmarks consistently fall short in real-world performance. As large-model evaluation itself has become a business, companies are shifting their selection criteria from ranking-based assessments to cost‑benefit analyses.

Selling AI Tokens Gets Harder as the Discount Trade Unravels

Model credits are showing up in festival promotions and carrier-style packs. Thin resellers that thrived on opaque markups face quality doubts, enforcement, and better-funded rivals. Durable intermediaries will charge for routing, trust, and integration—not for a secret price cut.

MiniMax M3.1Flash release sparks “questionable results” concerns: high scores on old questions, failure on new ones, and an illusion rate as high as 92.8%

On October 19, 2026, MiniMax released its low-cost large model, M3.1Flash, which scored 42 points in comprehensive evaluations and boasts a 70% reduction in cost compared to the previous generation. However, it immediately faced accusations of “cheating on exam questions”: on AA’s publicly available past papers, it nearly achieved a perfect score, yet continued to produce the original answers even after the question stems were rewritten. Reviewers such as Cat Boss and Binkg pointed out that its performance on old and new questions is sharply divided, token consumption is abnormal, and its hallucination rate in knowledge tests reaches as high as 92.8%. On October 23, MiniMax open-sourced the model weights for independent verification, but the mechanisms behind its question-identification capabilities and the reasons for discrepancies in Chinese–English responses remain unresolved.

Why it matters：This report is based on multi‑party empirical testing (including Binkg’s re‑title experiment, the author’s replication, and a dual evaluation comparison between AA and Plotly‑Mila), verifiable data (token counts, prices, accuracy/hallucination rates), and contradictions in model behavior (English errors vs. Chinese correctness, stable performance on old tasks vs. collapse on new ones). It systematically lays out the core symptoms of the current credibility crisis in large‑model evaluations: high scores do not necessarily equate to strong generalization, and low‑price advantages create tension with the reality of model capabilities. The information source is a deep investigation authorized for publication by Titanium Media, complete with original test procedures, screenshot evidence, and timestamps, offering both timeliness and rich detail.

The era of profiting from token flipping is over—what few viable paths remain for AI intermediaries?

OpenAI officially launches the Decisions API decision-making model, directly competing with TypeSafe Jev.

OpenAI will make the Decisions API available to all customers around October 22, 2026. This model is rebuilt on top of ChatGPT Luna and emphasizes millisecond-level low latency and cost-effective inference, with advantages in multimodal tasks such as image understanding. Currently, it lags behind competitors like the latest Jev and D1 Ultra in mainstream decision-making model benchmarks, but has already been adopted in real-world testing by companies including Box, Datadog, and Speak.

NVIDIA releases a portfolio of open-source models across multiple domains, driving the development of sovereign AI in European industries.

NVIDIA announced the expansion of its open-source model family to encompass areas such as language, robotics, bioinformatics, and quantum computing, unveiling the Nemotron 3.5 series, the Kumo structured-data model, the Cosmos world model, the Alpamayo 2 Edge autonomous-driving model, the BioNeMo RFD4-Proteina protein-design model, and the Ising quantum-computing model. All these models are now available to developers and enterprises, with access to weights and tools, supporting localized customization and independent deployment.
