Ripple-65B and Hy4 vs Kimi, Opus 5.5 and Sol, same prompts

Two new models of the first week of November 2026: Ripple-65B Preview (Ricursive Intelligence, open weights, Apache 2.0, released November 4) and Hy4 (Tencent, November 4, weights promised). On November 8 we gave both, word for word, the six prompts that Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6.1 Sol got on October 12 and Kimi K3.1 Pro got on October 24. One request per build, no agent, no second try. The rivals' builds are the ones from those days, unchanged. Ripple-65B's builds did not run; they are published exactly as written, so you can see why. Everything runs in your browser.
