Kimi K2.6 is great but I advice you to get a coding plan from Kimi.com as that way is much cheaper than paying for API calls using OpenRouter.

Thanks, I am trying it right now. I had an opencode plan 5$/month, so I will play with that. I use ZED and I added Pi ACP, so I can try the both pi and Kimi. I will also try it in opencode and via Kimi code.

Use kimi 2.6 for planning and a cheap model (preferably local) for execution, and then kimi once again for reviewing it. Then finally I review the code. Saves a lot on tokens.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I am testing it with Pi in Zed and it seems pretty good.
