Every local model we ran through Terminal-Bench 2.0 — a multi-turn shell-agent
benchmark — task by task. Who solved what, where the frontier of local capability actually sits,
and how a 2-bit MiniMax-M2.5 holds up against the Qwen and Gemma field.
✳ MiniMax IQ2_M plotted at its fair 0.5×-budget score (25.8%).
With a full/1.5× agent-time budget it recovers to ~30.3% (dashed marker) — a diagnostic, not
cohort-comparable, since only it got the extra time. The rest of its gap to the frontier is structural
(2-bit throughput + tool-call format instability).
