I use Kimi K2.6 and Minimax 3. Both are mainly due to pricing.

I got 6 months of Google Pro from buying my new phone, so I use Gemini Pro 3.1 and Gemini 3 Flash quite a bit, but don’t think it does too well compared to Kimi and Minimax.

I use Opus 4.6 as I get some usage from Google Pro, but it’s just like 1 task or something.

It is obviously the best, but considering the usage is extremely expensive, and I can use Kimi and Minimax almost 100x as much with a subscription. It kinda becomes a worse model. I’d rather Kimi working really long on a problem, than a slightly more powerful model with almost no usage. I can get a lot more done with high quality results from Kimi due to this.

What models are you using, and why?

    I have been working on setting up a reliable workflow using a combination of gemma4:26b, deep seek coder, and qwen3.5:27b

    I’m not a programmer is results are meh and I’m running into container issues but the speed is impressive and it’s good enough that with some trouble shooting and verification between models I’m making progress.
