Union Alpha: A Free Model Just Beat Opus 5/GPT-Sol

From the creator

In this video, we run an in-depth benchmark and stress-test on the stealth "Union Alpha" model across complex real-world agentic coding tasks. From building real-time interactive Three.js/WebGL physics simulations (Black Hole accretion disk) to procedural 3D voxel scenes and game engines, we evaluate how this lightweight active-parameter architecture stacks up against frontier models like Claude Opus 5 and GPT-6 Astra. 📌 What We Cover: • DeepSWE agentic benchmark & task pass rates • Multi-turn tool execution & cache efficiency (up to 79% cache hit) • Three.js WebGL real-time simulation generation • Architectural deep dive: Causal encoder/decoder & sparse attention • Full token cost and speed breakdown LINKS: https://openrouter.ai/stealth/union-alpha#providers My voice to text App: whryte.com Website: https://engineerprompt.ai/ RAG Beyond Basics Course: https://prompt-s-site.thinkific.com/courses/rag Signup for Newsletter, localgpt: https://tally.so/r/3y9bb0 💻 Pre-configured localGPT VM: https://bit.ly/localGPT (use Code: PromptEngineering for 50% off).

AI Maker Residence at KOKO

The third AI workshop taught by our legendary teacher, Nick Sarafa. In one of the last events we did an asset manager raised an additional £25M on their fund within a space of 9 months. This is a full-day hands-on training workshop for purposeful co-creation with AI using Claude Code. Imagine having access to hundreds of billions of dollars of computing power and knowing exactly how to make it work for you through the power of super intelligence. One person did.
