I Cancelled Claude: Token Issues, Declining Quality, and Poor Support

Looking at Anthropic's new products I think they understand they don't really have a cutting edge other than the brand.

I tried Kimi 2.6 and it's almost comparable to Opus. Anthropic lost the ball. I hope this is a sign the we are moving towards a future where model usage is a commodity with heavy competition on price/performance

I've been mostly using Kimi has a hacker of sorts, putting it places I want to attach AI directly as their API for their plans are not completely user hostile. Need to do OCR for scanning Magic the Gathering Cards. Sure!, have it attached to X4: Foundations as a AI manager for some stuff. sounds fun. Can't really do that with claude

Kimi nowhere close to opus on extended use but definitely highly competitive with sonnet. I will probably end up using kimi for personal stuff when I find some time to get it running or get a non-anthropic/openai harness set up on my personal machine.

How are you using kimi 2.6? I am considering their coding plan to replace my claude max 5x but I am worried about privacy and security.

I'm only using it for a project I'm already expecting to open source later. Don't think I'm comfortable using it for more private work

I'm using it via OpenCode Go, which claims to only use Zero Data Retention providers.

How much you trust any particular provider's claim to not retain data is subjective though.
