My opinions and experience concerning LLMs

Top Pick of Mid 2026

Oh My Pi

by Oh My Pi

Oh My Pi (omp) is my new preferred AI coding harness. It's better with orchestrating subagents, and I find its TUI to be more stable than other harnasses. While I've considered Pi, I prefer the default Oh My Pi provides, especially with regards to provider support and configuration.

Favorite Models

Based on personal preference

Gemini 3.6 Flash

by Google

9.0

A better-priced version of 3.6 with better output quality. Improved design capabilities, and nice for planning/execution.

Gemini 3.5 Flash

by Google

8.5

Great for use within Antigravity or Oh My Pi. It's dependable for day-to-day use and paired with an AI Pro subscription (or two), usable limits are bearable.

MiMo-V2.5

by Xiaomi

8.0

Suprisingly good output quality for a small model. I use V2.5 daily, and it's great when given small, specific tasks.

MiMo-V2.5-Pro

by Xiaomi

7.5

A great higher-powered alternative to MiMo-V2.5, though it lacks meaningful output quality when it counts, similar to V2.5. I prefer V2.5, though it shouldn't discount the improvements made in Pro to output quality.

Claude 5 Sonnet

by Anthropic

7.0

Over-inclusion of guardrails nerfed performance for me.
