Yeah, seems like this is in the range of Qwen 3.6, Gemma 4, Nemotron 3 Super, and the like. There are lot of models, including much smaller cheaper ones (like Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B), that are similarly competitive with Haiku. I can run these on my laptop, I don't need to rent them from Microsoft.

I suppose if you're reeling at the new Copilot bill but want to stay in their ecosystem, this gives you something to use, but for most folks, there's a plethora of better options.
