We're getting high quality drops for the perfect trifecta of leading models from the Chinese models with the same day release of GLM-5 and Kimi K2.5 1T model drop a few days ago.

Despite having many great options, I end up making use of all 3. MiniMax is my fast workhorse for tool calling and getting quick responses. GLM for all coding tasks whilst Kimi K2.5 1T model has deep knowledge for everything else, with an Opus-level command of the english language. There's been many times where I've preferred Kimi K2.5 over Opus.

Very good models from China, minimax, ernie, glm, deepseek, mimi, Qwen. Hope I didn't forget anyone else. Future looking good for AI model competition. (or bad for humans, depending how you see it)
