Minimax M2.7 is similar to sonnet in my tests. This is the first non OAI/Anthropic model I use for coding. It does require more steering, though.

More steering than Sonnet? What is your experience?

I'm about 2 days into transitioning, using MiMo V2 Pro in place of Opus and MiniMax M2.7 in place of Sonnet.
I'm finding that the extra "hand holding" that MiMo and MiniMax need isn't really "extra." The Anthropic models happily agree to a plan and then do something else entirely way too often.
With MiMo and MiniMax I'm just spreading the attention throughout the day instead of big spikes of frustration figuring out where Claude went off the rails.

Thank for responding. So you are using MiMo V2 Pro to plan and then asking MiniMax M2.7 to read that plan file and execute? Or how the workflow looks like?
Pi/Opencode/Kilocode? Just curious.
I am using Opencode mostly and thinking to abandon Copilot so looking for something similar.
