I have to try Kimi. I was looking for an alternative. If you have any experience, advice, please share. I saw Kimi is at the top of the Open Router ranking.

- zorked 6mo agoI use Kimi at home via a kimi.com subscription and Kimi CLI (sometimes running inside Zed, sometimes not). My favorite model by far. And it's just $20. I have to use a supposedly frontier model at work and I hate it.
- Frannky 6mo agoNice, thanks for sharing!
- DeathArrow 6mo agoKimi K2.6 is great but I advice you to get a coding plan from Kimi.com as that way is much cheaper than paying for API calls using OpenRouter.
- Frannky 6mo agoThanks, I am trying it right now. I had an opencode plan 5$/month, so I will play with that. I use ZED and I added Pi ACP, so I can try the both pi and Kimi. I will also try it in opencode and via Kimi code.
- prvnsmpth 6mo agoUse kimi 2.6 for planning and a cheap model (preferably local) for execution, and then kimi once again for reviewing it. Then finally I review the code. Saves a lot on tokens.
- Frannky 6mo agoVery interesting, thanks for sharing. I am testing it with Pi in Zed and it seems pretty good.
