MiniMax M2.1 is really good for writing code. It's open source, and you can connect Visual Studio Code to it and start coding right away. The model is especially good for those who don't use Python as a primary language. It's currently the best multilingual model out there. The...

The MiniMax M2 model is mind-blowing! It's open-source. It outperforms Gemini 2.5, Claude 4.1, and Qwen3 across coding and tool-use benchmarks. Right now, it's one of the world's top 5 models in intelligence! And here is the best part: Claude is one of the best models you can use today, and MiniMax M2 costs only 8% of that! It's smaller, faster, and cheaper. Extremely efficient at using tokens. Minimax M2's biggest strength: High agentic capabilities. The model can plan and execute complex multi-tool workflows. It's reliable and very robust at executing long-horizon tool chains. In summary: • Low latency • Very cheap • Excels at agentic tasks • Open-source The model currently powers the MiniMax Agent and is available for a free global trial. You can access MiniMax M2's API here: To access the agent: And here is the MiniMax website: Thanks to the MiniMax team for showing me the ropes and partnering with me on this post.

You can use a 100% open source and MUCH cheaper/free alternative to Claude Code and Opus 4.5 OpenCode + MiniMax M2.1 can even build a 3D website using pure vibe coding. Steps are really simple: 1. Install OpenCode using the command 'npm i -g opencode-ai' 2. Get your MiniMax API key here: 3. Configure the MiniMax (official) mode Just type "opencode connect minimax" Coding plans start at $2… 10x cheaper than Claude Code (yes). You can also invite friends so they can get 10% off and you’ll get 10% API credits. (You can also use it locally if you have the config) And you're ready to build and iterate almost endlessly since the model is both way faster and cheaper than Opus in CC.

Nothing beats open-source! MiniMax just dropped M2.1, and devs are calling it "Claude at 10% the cost." - 72.5% SWE-Multilingual. Beats Sonnet 4.5 - 88.6% VIBE-bench. Beats Gemini 3 Pro I used it to build an AI studio that turns any website into a podcast. 100% open-source.

There's a new AI-native IDE out there named Aide, and there are four things I like about it: 1. It's open-source 2. It's proactive and suggests changes before you ask 3. It uses an intermediate layer between the editor and LLM 4. It's SOTA on the SWE-Bench benchmark I'm excited about #3 because this layer (called "Sidecar") will help people connect any model to the IDE. While this isn't possible right now, it's clearly the goal. Sidecar is also open-source. As I write this, the code agent behind Aide, "CodeStory Midwit Agent," is second in the Verified SWE-Bench leaderboard (it finished in 2024 in the first place.) This is a huge deal! If I'm gonna have an agent help me code, it might as well be the best of the best. The proactive aspect is also cool: the IDE provides suggestions to improve your code without you having to ask. I recorded a quick video showing you how Aide works. The team behind the IDE partnered with me on this video. Right now, it feels like *everyone* is building AI-powered coding tools. As a career developer, nothing excites me more than seeing how quickly we transform the development experience. And 2025 is just getting started!

Nothing beats open-source! We now have a fully open-source coding agent that can compete with any proprietary solution out there: • 500+ available models • It doesn't train on your code • It doesn't charge a penny for tokens • It's open. You can change if you want. Kilo Code is the #1 app on OpenRouter right now, and the community is releasing new features on GitHub at rocket speed (about 20 releases in the last 30 days). I installed it in Visual Studio Code, but you can install it in pretty much any IDE. I need to spend more time with it, but here is a very interesting design choice: Most coding agents support two modes: an "agentic" mode for writing code and an "ask" mode for talking to the model without making any changes. Kilo Code supports 5 different modes: 1. Architect mode - Research, design, and planning 2. Debug mode - Problem solving and troubleshooting 3. Code mode - To write code. 4. Ask mode - To talk to the model. 5. Orchestrator mode - Combine every agent to solve problems. On paper, I really like this. I'll need more time to try out the specialized agents and see whether niching becomes an advantage. Here is the link to the website: Thanks to the Kilo for partnering with me on this post.

Okay I take everything back I was on the Suno 3.5 free model which produces very bad vocals This is Suno 4.5+ with the new vocal model it's really really good As a Drum & Bass head, I'd say it's at the level of D&B of about ~5 years ago, very passable as real, every song is very SUB FOCUS so that must have been a lot of the training, which means they picked the best artists of each genre (and maybe licensed them?) [Verse 2] Now I'm using the new Suno 4.5+ model It's so powerful Had to tweet about it Before I was using the Suno 3 free model And it was very bad This is groundbreaking

Let's be honest Claude Code was not working good with local LLMs. So, I Tried using OpenCode with LM Studio using Qwen 3.5 9B model on my RTX 5080 GPU. It's very usable and much faster than Claude Code. I'm actually planning to use this setup to build an entire vibe coded SaaS

AI is out of control 🤣 Wan 2.1 14B model is the best open-source video model I have ever used. Been trying it on Novita AI Playground, and it's fast and the quality is good. - Better than SORA and close to Google Veo-2. - Other models like DeepSeek R1, V3, Hunyuan Video and more available.. - API access too. More details 👇

This is a pretty wild model! You can use it to turn an image into a 3D object with texture. The quality is out of this world! I'm not even a designer, and I've been using this nonstop for the last 2 hours. The model is Hunyuan 3D 2.1. It's open source. You'll find model weights, training/inference code, data pipelines, and architecture on their repository. You can even fine-tune it if you want! GitHub Repository: By the way, the model runs on consumer-grade GPUs. You don't need a datacenter for this! I've been using the model from the HuggingFace demo page: To use it, go to the link and upload an image. That's it! Check out the video I recorded for a couple of examples.

Choose a model (any model) and build your application with it. Do not spend time swapping models early on. Do not try to optimize before you have a working system. This is one of the first recommendations I make to every new team I consult with. Eventually, it will be time to optimize the model. • You may need a cheaper model • You may need a faster model • You might need a smarter model Good luck if you stitched together 12 different APIs and SDKs from 7 different vendors. Over half of the companies I consult for run on Microsoft software and have access to Microsoft Foundry. Microsoft Foundry is a complete agentic ecosystem. If you're in that world and building AI applications, Microsoft Foundry is where everything lives: • Models (largest selection in the market) • Agentic SDK (Python, C#, JavaScript/TypeScript) • Tools • Evaluations • Monitoring They are fully integrated with GitHub and Visual Studio Code. The best part: Their agentic platform is fully agnostic of the models you use. You can integrate with any model using the same OpenAI-style API. Swapping one model for another takes 1 second.

The best *code embedding* model in the market right now was just released: Qodo-Embed-1 — There are two flavors: A lite model with 1.5B parameters and a medium model with 7B parameters (Hugging Face links below). If you want to index a large codebase (supports 10M+ lines of code), this is the model you want. 1. Index your repositories 2. Ask anything (including test and code generation) The models are optimized to answer natural language questions or code-to-code questions. The video here shows the model indexing 90 repositories (!!!!!) and letting the user ask questions about them. The simplest way to use the model is through the Qodo Gen AI extension in Visual Studio Code, Cursor, or JetBrains (see link below).
