Hands-on: Gemini 3.7 Flash handles frontend well; Kimi K3 offers great value
doodlestein · x · 2026-08-19
The author shares hands-on experience with several AI coding tools:
- Gemini 3.7 Flash: After a recent project, considers it trustworthy for web frontend and less critical tasks.
- Kimi K3 ($200/mo): Finds the value proposition (omp) very compelling, though signups are closed.
- Daily Drivers: Relies on Fable xhigh (with CC) for core work, and Sol xhigh (with Codex) or swarms of Terra.
- Grok: Surprisingly versatile and hasn't done stupid or dangerous things so far.
