Latest update (11-10 14:04): Latent.Space benchmarks Naive-N0.5-Flash against DeepSeek and Z models

Overview: Gabriele Beltramo tests NaiveAI's open-weights Naive-N0.5-Flash in its ultrafast mode against DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 and GLM 5.3 Flash on math, science and reasoning questions, then on the same app-building prompts. Beltramo reports a median end-to-end response time of 3.1 seconds for Naive-N0.5-Flash, against 5.3 seconds for GLM 5.3 Flash and 10.1 seconds for DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017.

Naive-N0.5-Flash reports throughput approaching or passing 1,000 tokens per second. Beltramo notes that these figures come from the server side, while the other two models' throughput figures come from OpenRouter, so the throughput numbers are not directly comparable.

Latent Space separately publishes its own review of Naive-N0.5-Flash, describing the model as built for AI coding tasks and tuned for maximum tokens per second, and says it ran the model against similar DeepSeek and Z models to measure speed.
