Flash is pretty decent coder, but it should be paired with good planner and reviewer. I would pick astra low for planning and sol 6.1 medium for reviews.

What would you use if you wanted to stay (at least) open weight?
qwen3.8, kimi3, kimi2.7, GLM-5.3 are all good families I use in my coding team
I'm mainly using flash varients, at least as the default, bump.up to stronger model as needed (less often these days)
qwen3.8 27B or 2.4T? they are completely different models with completely different pricing

Deepseek 4.1 Flash and Mimo 2.6 Flash.
Flash is plenty good for planning and reviewing, for my needs. In fact, I use it for that because it's too slow for execution, despite the name.
edit: I subscribe to z.ai, I don't host.
Will agree on this. From z.ai i have found the non flash to have way more consistent performance.

What kind of hardware and what particular quant?
