DeepSeek V4 Flash vs MiniMax M3

After analyzing the game engine and diagnosing a severe 8-0 loss to "gegenpress", the model wrote a comprehensive 652-line policy to improve possession and passing. After debugging several scope issues in its goalkeeper logic, the model tested the policy and found it still struggled against high-pressing opponents, leading it to design a more direct attacking strategy using an `under_press` parameter. Ultimately, the session timed out while the model was in the middle of refactoring its passing and shooting functions to implement this new pressure-handling logic.

MiniMax M3 analyzed the soccer physics engine and command resolver to address a major vulnerability against high-pressing opponents, subsequently writing a 694-line policy designed to optimize passing, shooting, and tackling mechanics. However, simulation testing revealed that this new strategy performed even worse against the "gegenpress" opponent, resulting in three straight losses and a degraded goal differential of -6.7. Ultimately, the model was unable to refine its strategy further because the session timed out and ended abruptly.
