Note: if you are having success with a model, then please post what you are using it for. Writing HTML/CSS is very different from writing Rust/C++ or doing maths.

I use DeepSeek V4 Flash (before this update) for most things:
- OpenCode for codebase editing: python scientific computing and LLM projects
- Open Interpreter Classic (python version) for Swiss army knife terminal replacement one-off task type stuff.
I do Python, Go and Rust. Go works the best, I would say Python is worse than Go.
Rust works perfectly fine, but when I use Rust, I usually pay closer attention to performance, so I have to guide it a bit, to improve cache locality, use simd, avoid unnecessary allocations and so on. Terra has the same issues with Rust. If you always prompt models to achieve the best performance, the code is usually no the one that I want, they optimize unnecessary/cold parts or blindly optimize stuff where compiler takes care of the optimizations already.
See my other comment for more information on how I work with it. In short, keep the changes under 1k lines, context under 120k (ask it to use subagents), drive the architecture yourself.
I've been having better-than-most performance using qwen3.6 to write python/flask.
I tried using it to generate some rust code yesterday, and it generated much code but only ever came within 1 error of a testable build. The 4th or 5th full rewrite is sitting in the buffer right now.
I'm currently looking to up my game with Bottlecap AI's return of qwen3.6, 'thinking cap'.
Alleged to be twice as fast and superior at coding over extended sessions (vs. 3.6).
We'll soon see.
You should specify which model size and quant because there are many of both.
flash for code:
c#, TypeScript, PHP, SQL, CSS, HTML.
also features, tests, fixes, refactoring and planning.
it's super fast, smart and dirt cheap.
