I had to move to Kimi K2.6 because Claude models are too expensive to use. BYK from OpenRouter. I have not tested GLM models.
As they stop subsidizing, everything is going to get more and more expensive until they price everyone out. If they are actually “selling shovels for a gold rush,” they are cooked. A lot of companies can’t afford to use Ai heavily anymore. Customers are going to dry up.
We are looking into open router and kimi 2.7, mimo, glm 5.2 models.
You can still use opus/sonnet models all the same, they are just wicked expensive.
There are tools like opencode and kilocode for coding.
