I use Opus 4.7 for personal stuff (basically for everything), but have been considering gpt-5.5 given all I hear about it.

At work I use 4.6 because we don't have 4.7 yet...zzz...

I also do a LOT of personal/portfolio work with self-hosted models.

Ministral-3-14B-Reasoning for validating concepts, MVPs, etc and some prod systems (punches above its weight class). Qwen3.6-35B-A3B for self-hosted coding (custom harness). GPT-OSS-120B for self-hosted coding or more reasoning-intensive agentic flows. Qwen3.5-122B-A10B currently in evals for agentic coding.
