Here is a remake of the classic arcade game NBA Jam! using deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017 and MiniMax-M3.1-Flash. The Deepseek version was generated inside ZCode using my @alibaba_cloud account and the Minimax version was using Minimax Code. As you can see, Minimax did not complete the task. I used Matt Schumer's gauntlet loop for both. I noticed that for both games I tried with Minimax 3.1 that it threw in the towel and said that it couldn't close the gap. Odd to see that from a model, but I suppose it is appreciated rather than wasting tokens.
