Best AI Models for Coding

MiMo-V2.5 is a native omnimodal model by Xiaomi. It delivers Pro-level agentic performance at roughly half the inference cost, while surpassing MiMo-V2-Omni in multimodal perception across image and video understanding tasks. Its 1M context window supports complete documents, extended conversations, and complex task contexts in a single pass, making it ideal for integration with agent frameworks where strong reasoning, rich perception, and cost efficiency all matter.

MiniMax-M3 is a multimodal foundation model from MiniMax. It supports text, image, and video inputs with text output, a 1M-token context window, and is suited for long-horizon agentic work, coding, and tool use. It is built on MiniMax Sparse Attention (MSA), which replaces full attention with KV-block selection to cut per-token compute at long context — roughly 1/20 the cost of the previous generation at 1M tokens, with substantially faster prefill and decode while retaining quality across most tasks.

Trained as a native multimodal model on interleaved data and tuned for multi-turn, production-like collaboration via an interactive user-simulator framework, the model is oriented toward sustained, multi-step tasks rather than single-turn execution.

Owl Alpha is a high-performance foundation model designed for agentic workloads. Natively supports tool use, and long-context tasks, with strong performance in code generation, automated workflows, and complex instruction execution. Compatible with Claude Code, OpenClaw, and other mainstream productivity tools.

Note: Prompts and completions may be logged by the provider and used to improve the model.

Hy3 preview is a high-efficiency Mixture-of-Experts model from Tencent designed for agentic workflows and production use. It supports configurable reasoning levels across disabled, low, and high modes, allowing it to balance speed and depth depending on the task, while delivering strong code generation and reliable performance across multi-step, real-world workflows.

Opus 4.7 is the next generation of Anthropic's Opus family, built for long-running, asynchronous agents. Building on the coding and agentic strengths of Opus 4.6, it delivers stronger performance on complex, multi-step tasks and more reliable agentic execution across extended workflows. It is especially effective for asynchronous agent pipelines where tasks unfold over time - large codebases, multi-stage debugging, and end-to-end project orchestration.

Beyond coding, Opus 4.7 brings improved knowledge work capabilities - from drafting documents and building presentations to analyzing data. It maintains coherence across very long outputs and extended sessions, making it a strong default for tasks that require persistence, judgment, and follow-through.

DeepSeek V4 Pro is a large-scale Mixture-of-Experts model from DeepSeek with 1.6T total parameters and 49B activated parameters, supporting a 1M-token context window. It is designed for advanced reasoning, coding, and long-horizon agent workflows, with strong performance across knowledge, math, and software engineering benchmarks.

Built on the same architecture as DeepSeek V4 Flash, it introduces a hybrid attention system for efficient long-context processing. Reasoning efforts high and xhigh are supported; xhigh maps to max reasoning. It is well suited for complex workloads such as full-codebase analysis, multi-step automation, and large-scale information synthesis, where both capability and efficiency are critical.

GLM 5.2 is a large-scale reasoning model from Z.ai. It supports text input and output with a 1M-token context window, and is suited for long-horizon agent workflows, project-level software engineering, and complex multi-step automation.

Reasoning efforts high and xhigh are supported; xhigh maps to max reasoning. It is particularly strong at coding and tool use across long-running tasks, able to maintain engineering context and follow standards consistently through a full development workflow, from requirements to multi-platform deployment, in a single task.

Claude Opus 4.8 is Anthropic's most capable generally available model in the Opus family. It supports text, image, and file inputs with text output, with reasoning support and a 1M-token context window. It is suited for highly autonomous agents, long-horizon agentic work, knowledge work, and memory-driven tasks where coherence over extended sessions matters.

It is particularly strong on multi-step reasoning, complex coding, and end-to-end project orchestration - large codebases, multi-stage debugging, and long-running asynchronous agent pipelines. Beyond coding, it handles knowledge work such as drafting documents, building presentations, and analyzing data, maintaining quality across very long outputs.

Sonnet 4.6 is Anthropic's most capable Sonnet-class model yet, with frontier performance across coding, agents, and professional work. It excels at iterative development, complex codebase navigation, end-to-end project management with memory, polished document creation, and confident computer use for web QA and workflow automation.
