Yeah I too am curious. Because Claude code is so good and the ecosystem so just it works that I’m Willing to pay them.

I tried kimi k2.5 and first I didn't really like it. I was critical of it but then I started liking it. Also, the model has kind of replaced how I use chatgpt too & I really love kimi 2.5 the most right now (although gemini models come close too)

To be honest, I do feel like kimi k2.5 is the best open source model. It's not the best model itself right now tho but its really price performant and for many use cases might be nice depending on it.

It might not be the completely SOTA that people say but it comes pretty close and its open source and I trust the open source part because I feel like other providers can also run it and just about a lot of other things too (also considering that iirc chatgpt recently slashed some old models)

I really appreciate kimi for still open sourcing their complete SOTA and then releasing some research papers on top of them unlike Qwen which has closed source its complete SOTA.

Thank you Kimi!

You can plug another model in place of Anthropic ones in Claude Code.

  • If you don't use Antrophic models there's no reason to use Claude Code at all. Opencode gives so much more choice.

  • That tends to work quite poorly because Claude Code does not use standard completions APIs. I tried it with Kimi, using litellm[proxy], and it failed in too many places.
