The Google models are great "general purpose" and research LLMs, but they're relatively poor at coding.

The way I see it, you have two options.

1) Get on the Claude Max 20x plan and use Opus 5.5 for review/orchestration and Haiku 5.5 for grunt work. Haiku 5.5 is decent, cheap, and fast.

2) Deepseek 4.1 Flash in OpenCode.

You should also test MiMo v2.6. It's a little bit uneven, but might work well for whatever you're trying to do, and it's also cheap.
