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

    • I use all the qwen!

      It's my favorite model family to interact with, it's prose is the best imo, it makes me laugh from time-to-time (like when it said it would "crib" some code from another project, lul)

      I currently have qwen-flash working on an NES emulator harness so qwen-little can play my first RPG (ff1)

      (tho I have used all the others I mentioned, happenstance I'm using qwen this iteration/task)
