MiniMax M2 surprised us. it’s fast, cheap, and very strong at coding and tool use. We’ve seen it outperform Gemini 2.5 Pro, Claude Sonnet 4.5, and Qwen3 on several benchmarks, and it works really well for agentic tasks.
Kimi K2 is one of the best models we’ve used for writing. It handles long context really well, stays coherent, and produces clean, readable drafts without much prompt tweaking.
Vercel makes building and shipping products ridiculously fast. From frontend hosting to edge functions and AI SDKs, it removes a ton of infra friction and lets teams focus on shipping.
We’ve been really impressed with DeepSeek. R1 and V3 showed that open models can genuinely compete with top proprietary models, esp on reasoning and coding. The level of transparency in their research is rare and super valuable for the ecosystem.
