>Being open is nice though, even though it doesn't matter that much for folks like me with a single consumer GPU.

Of course it matters because that makes coding plans much cheaper than those from Anthropic and OpenAI.

For personal use I have coding plans with GLM 5.1, Kimi K2.6, MiniMax M2.7 and Xiaomi MiMo V2.5 Pro and I am getting a lot of bang for the buck.

Currently it's not a huge difference given the subsidies of closed model subscriptions. Once that stops then yea it will be really nice to have open models as price competitors.

    At least in my experience switching from Claude Pro ($20/month) to Kimi 2.6 through ollama (also $20/month), I was almost always hitting my usage limit with Sonnet 4.6, but with ollama I haven't hit my usage a single time.

    With Claude Max I was hitting the limits very fast.
