First Community Benchmarks of DeepSeek V4 Pro, Qwen 3.8 Max, and Grok 4.6
The community quickly tested three newly released LLMs—DeepSeek V4 Pro, Qwen 3.8 Max, and Grok 4.6—across 3D scene generation, Flappy game creation, and airplane‑animation tasks, comparing quality, speed, and cost to reveal each model’s strengths and trade‑offs.
LLM development is exploding, with three cutting‑edge models launched in a single day, offering benefits for both consumers and enterprises.
Grok 4.6 (by Musk): performance comparable to Fable 5 while costing about 85% less.
Qwen 3.8‑Max : 2.4 T parameters, 95 B activation parameters; weights released on Hugging Face ( https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B).
DeepSeek‑V4‑Pro‑0813 : strong performance that goes beyond simple benchmark scores.
3D Scene Generation
Comparison: Grok 4.6 vs DeepSeek V4 Pro vs DeepSeek V4 Flash vs GPT‑5.6 Sol.
The gap in raw quality is minimal; Grok 4.6 and DeepSeek V4 Pro are very close. When speed is considered, the author would choose Grok 4.6. However, both lag noticeably behind Kimi K3, Opus 4.8, and Qwen 3.8‑Max.

Using FlappyBench, the three models—DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813, Kimi K3, and GLM 5.2—were tested with identical prompts and the /design command.
Scoring considered gameplay functionality, UX/UI, and cost:
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 → 8/10 · $0.0005 per game
Kimi K3 → 9.5/10 · $0.0740 per game
GLM 5.2 → 9/10 · $0.0480 per game
DeepSeek’s price is only 1/148 of Kimi’s and 1/96 of GLM’s, yet it achieves about 84% of their quality, making $0.0005 for a playable game seem astonishingly cheap.
Kimi K3 delivers the best output quality, with GLM 5.2 close behind.

Grok 4.6 and DeepSeek 4 Pro were freshly released and tested for generating a basic airplane‑on‑water sliding animation, with results compared against DeepSeek 4 Flash and Fable.
Only the raw models were used, without any auxiliary frameworks.
Grok’s plane moves backward.
DeepSeek 4 Pro moves backward after one turn, then forward in another.
DeepSeek 4 Flash follows the correct direction but adds its own style.
Fable remains the clear winner.
Grok’s visuals are impressive, yet it still struggles with realistic physics, and further improvements are hoped for.
