Ask HN: What Online LLM / Chat do you use?

I’ve been using the Kagi Assistant with various models. It’s more of a glorified search summarizer but it’s essentially free with my existing subscription.

I tend to rotate between a few depending on the task — some are better at summaries, others handle logic better. One thing that really helps is trying smaller niche models for specific use-cases instead of always defaulting to the big ones.

DeepSeek (reasoning) and Gemini (multimodal) have been useful for me — especially when I want stronger pushback or a different angle. What are you hoping to get that you’re not getting from the usual set?

Kimi models are great. Also really good at making clock faces.
