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?

    Thanks for the info. Really happy that it is. I have been missing a community for AI agentic discussions. The rest of Lemmy seem to loathe AI

      it seems to depend on how close you are; culturally speaking; to the anglosphere.

      look at rednote for an example of a large platform – very distant from the anglosphere – embracing ai content.

        Interesting. I am trying to have an open mind towards non-coding parts, but struggle a bit. It might be something I should reconsider or expose myself to. I will install Rednote out of curiousity.

          rednote w/o all the hasbara and american state department propaganda feels odd and silly at the same time; i recommend it.
