Developers favor free tools and custom workflows
Fable 5 at Max effort? OpenAI’s gpt-5.6? The latest Gemini models? Perhaps Kimi K3 or other open-weight models?
For your typical needs these days, what model do you tend to use and why?

I use Gemma4 (Cloud Version) via Ollama. It’s free to use and I can integrate it in my VScode without an issue. I tend to not go with models that are paid because they are…paid. I like saving money lol

On my home server, I like to have open-source models for daily usage (automations, reminders, etc.), and Gemma 4 works well.
Been testing Kimi K3 with Kimi CLI, and it’s a great model, but token limits are brutal. Opus 5 is perfect for doing the hard work, and Gemini is ok-ish for minor tasks.

Gemini does a lot of my day-to-day heavy lifting and gets maybe 10% of the credit it deserves. But the moment I need actual coding muscle, I’m back on Claude without hesitation. The gap there is still real and Gemini hasn’t closed it.

I’m using Antigravity, running flash 3.6 medium, and my multi-step workflow: gist.github.com/RandalSchwartz/598… which has been organically grown using lots of real-world interations.
