I use Opus 4.7 for personal stuff (basically for everything), but have been considering gpt-5.5 given all I hear about it.
At work I use 4.6 because we don't have 4.7 yet...zzz...
I also do a LOT of personal/portfolio work with self-hosted models.
Ministral-3-14B-Reasoning for validating concepts, MVPs, etc and some prod systems (punches above its weight class).
Qwen3.6-35B-A3B for self-hosted coding (custom harness).
GPT-OSS-120B for self-hosted coding or more reasoning-intensive agentic flows.
Qwen3.5-122B-A10B currently in evals for agentic coding.

kimi 2.6 and GLM 5.1 when i don't have to pay on the task (using the opencode go subscription)
1. gpt-5.5-medium for most demanding coding tasks.
2. gpt-5.3-codex-medium for genrally most of the other coding tasks.
3. deepseek-v4-flash for heavy agentic research/loops (non-coding related).
4. mimo-v2.5-pro for crunching/summarizing large texts.
5. gemini-3.1-flash-lite for image understanding.
6. opus-4.7 very occasionally when gpt-5.5 fails, or vice-versa, and sonnet-4.6 when codex-5.3 fails.
7. deepseek-v4-pro when I need to do a long agentic session, and want higher quality, for cheap (non-coding).
8. perplexity/pplx-embed-v1-0.6b for embeddings, via openrouter.

By default, I use Sonnet 4.6, and if Sonnet 4.6 fails, I use Opus 4.7.

GPT-5.5 + Opus-4.7 here. Codex for pure coding task with clear goal, claude code for the rest. Also combined with opencode to experiment new models.
fyi: I didn't have much lock on Deepseek v4 pro, with opencode + openrouter it's incredibly slow. How did op did it?
Opus 4.7 in Vscode via Claude Code.
GPT-5.5 daily.Opus for hard stuff.Deep seek for long context+ cheap iteration.Everthing else is routing and tool now.
GPT-5.5 for daily ideas and brainstorming. It has become my daily go to.
Opus 4.6. Does the job. Not much of an experimenter.
for idea using gpt3.5,claude for coding and also impressed by deepseek it large context window is really useful for long projects.
