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?

Interesting, can it do larger tasks? Or do you use it for Openclaw/Hermes?

I did not know you could use 3rd party models in Claude, is it better than OpenCode? Or is it its own Hermes/Openclaw thing?

Interesting, I should probably check it out. I use OpenCode currently, but it is always interesting to try other tools

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.

Hello, mod here, discussions are welcome

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.
