Review

I ran Alibaba's new 2.4T Qwen3.8-Max-Preview through 4 real coding tests. Results rival Fable 5 and Grok 4.5 — with one big catch: speed.

I ran Grok 4.5 through my usual coding tests — website builds, a Go poker sim, a site audit. It's fast, cheap, and it found a bug no other model caught.

I tested Microsoft's MAI-Code-1-Flash coding model on real projects. Fast and cheap, yes, but here's why I won't be switching from Kimi K2.7 Code.

My hands-on Claude Fable 5 review. I ran my usual coding tests and it one-shotted a poker sim no model ever beat. Best coding model yet, with caveats.

I ran my usual coding tests — two websites, a poker sim, and a code audit. Here's how MiniMax M3 actually stacks up against GPT-5.5 and Opus 4.8.

Hands-on Antigravity 2.0 review: I tested Gemini 3.5 Flash on real coding tasks. Fast, impressive design — but the hidden token cost changes everything.

DeepSeek V4 is here. I ran it through a TypeScript codebase audit, a poker simulation, and two web designs. Here's how it really compares to Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5.

OpenCode Go gives you 7 Chinese AI coding models for $10/month. After a week of real use, here's what works, what doesn't, and who it's actually for.

MiniMax M2.7 scores 90% of Opus quality at 7% the cost. I break down benchmarks, token plans, speed issues, and whether it's worth switching to.
