Any recommendations on good open ones? What are you using primarily?
LMArena actually has a nice Pareto distribution of ELO vs price for this
model elo $/M --------------------------------------- glm-5.1 1538 2.60 glm-4.7 1440 1.41 minimax-m2.7 1422 0.97 minimax-m2.1-preview 1392 0.78 minimax-m2.5 1386 0.77 deepseek-v3.2-thinking 1369 0.38 mimo-v2-flash (non-thinking) 1337 0.24
qwen3.5/3.6 (30B) works well,locally, with opencode
GLM 5.1 via an infra provider. Running a competent coding capable model yourself isn't viable unless your standards are quite low.
I am using GLM 5.1 and MiniMax 2.7.
