I went with MiniMax. The token plans are over what I currently need, 4500 messages per 5h, 45000 messages per week for 40$. I can run multiple agents and they don't think for 5-10 minutes like Sonnet did. Also I can finally see the thinking process while Anthropic chose to hide it all from me.

I'm using Zed and Claude Code as my harnesses.

I "subconsciously" moved to codex back in mid Feb from CC and it's been so freaking awesome. I don't think it's as good at UI, but man is it thorough and able to gather the right context to find solutions.

I use "subconsciously" in quotes because I don't remember exactly why I did it, but it aligns with the degradation of their service so it feels like that probably has something to do with it even though I didn't realize it at the time.

At the moment, yeah. If Google ever figures out how to build an agentic model, I would use them as well.

However you feel about OpenAI, at least their harness is actually open source and they don’t send lawyers after oss projects like opencode

Self-hosted models are the one true path.

Anecdotally, I know many people who have supplemented Claude with Codex, and are experimenting with models such as GLM 5.1, Kimi, Qwen, etc.

I like chutes because they always use the full weights, and prompts are encrypted with TEE.
