alt Hacker NewsI'd recommend Kimi k2.6 for your use. It is an excellent model at a fraction of the cost, and you can use Claude Code with it.
I did a 1:1 map of all my Claude Code skills, and it feels like I never left Opus.
Super happy with the results.

If you don't use a lot of quota the cheapest monthly Claude Code is $20, Kimi Code is $19, i.e. the cost difference is minuscule.
Kimi wants my phone number on signup so a no-go for me.

did you just copy-paste or is there a difference in the way kimi uses skills?

I was saying the same until DeepSeek v4 this morning... sorry, Kimi. The competition is intense!
