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?
