Review

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.

I tested GPT 5.4 head-to-head against Claude, Gemini, and MiniMax on a real coding task. Here's what the benchmarks don't tell you.

I tested OpenCode against Claude Code for real development work. Here's what surprised me about the open-source alternative — and what I don't miss.

MiniMax M2.5 paired with OpenCode CLI delivers frontier coding performance at 5-20% of Claude's price. Here's my hands-on experience and why it matters.

Claude Opus 4.6 dominates benchmarks and coding tasks, but is it really better than 4.5? A developer's honest take on what changed and what matters.

Google's Gemini 3 Flash beats GPT-5.2 benchmarks at 3.5x lower cost. Here's why this workhorse model changes the economics of AI in production apps.

Claude Opus 4.5 achieves 80.9% on SWE-bench with 67% lower costs. Hands-on review of the new effort parameter, token efficiency, and real coding performance.
