Picks from this board

Best for coding. Claude Fable 5.1 Highest coding index on this board (81.6).
Best cheap. North Mini Code (free) Lowest monthly list price among models that have a coding number, about $0/mo. The monthly figure assumes 3 million tokens in and 1 million out. It is a list-price worksheet, not a quality rank and not your bill.
Best local. GLM 5.3 Highest coding index among local models that have one (74.8).
