LLM testing: Opus best for teaching, domestic models offer high value for coding

Based on usage, the author compared several frontier models: Opus 5 excels at teaching via generated HTML but is verbose; GPT-5.6 Sol has strong backend but weak frontend skills; Kimi K3 / GLM-5.2 are cheap and efficient for 90% of daily coding but struggle with AI research tasks like kernel writing. The conclusion is that today's LLMs are still specialists, not a single ruler.
