What would you use if you wanted to stay (at least) open weight?

qwen3.8, kimi3, kimi2.7, GLM-5.3 are all good families I use in my coding team

I'm mainly using flash varients, at least as the default, bump.up to stronger model as needed (less often these days)

qwen3.8 27B or 2.4T? they are completely different models with completely different pricing

		I use all the qwen! It's my favorite model family to interact with, it's prose is the best imo, it makes me laugh from time-to-time (like when it said it would "crib" some code from another project, lul) I currently have qwen-flash working on an NES emulator harness so qwen-little can play my first RPG (ff1) (tho I have used all the others I mentioned, happenstance I'm using qwen this iteration/task)
