How does the Octeract engine compare to Alpine?

The octeract engine solved 100% of the Mittelmann MINLP benchmark.
It is a commercial software.
We have a free MINLP solver called Alpine.

How do they compare?

As a side note, why doesn’t JuMP list octeract as a commercial solver available?

How do they compare?

Octeract is probably much, much faster. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was 10-100X faster.

Why doesn’t JuMP list octeract as a commercial solver available?

Do they have an official interface? I guess we could add the NL file interface to Installation Guide · JuMP

They support Julia.
https://octeract.gg/docs/tutorials/julia-tutorial/julia-on-windows/

This is just via our generic nl interface. But I’ve added octeract to our list of supported solvers
