What's the best AI model for coding?
by•
New AI models pop up every week. Some developer tools like @Cursor, @Zed, and @Kilo Code let you choose between different models, while more opinionated products like @Amp and @Tonkotsu default to 1 model.
Curious what the community recommends for coding tasks? Any preferences?

I'm not a professional LLM tester, I usually stick with 1 model until it disappoints me😂. For the models in this list, my preference was actually Gemini 3> Sonnet 4.5> GPT5.2> MiniMax M2 (haven't tried the others).
I used to use Windsurf with GPT, but moved over to Claude Code and Sonnet 4.6
