Nathan Lambert of Interconnects suggests that while Chinese LLMs like Kimi, Z.ai, DeepSeek, and Qwen may excel in agentic benchmarks, they face resource limitations hindering their ability to compete with major US labs. He posits that Anthropic's Claude Code and Codex represent a significant leap in agentic capabilities, a milestone not yet matched by open-weight models. Lambert also notes that Google's Gemini 3.5 Flash, while suited for Google's internal products, does not yet rival Claude Code or Codex for modern knowledge work, implying a continued gap in advanced agentic tools. AI
IMPACT Open-weight models may lag behind frontier closed models in agentic capabilities, potentially shifting focus to enterprise agents and specialized domains.
