What is this 10€ per month subscription that you are talking about?
MiniMax token plan https://platform.minimax.io/docs/guides/pricing-token-plan
These small Chinese companies dont always have access to serious hardware.

A subscription for coding - no thanks.
If you think it's only for coding you don't have much of an imagination :)
I'd not use it over pure Claude Code because I am at heart a coder and I want the raw terminal experience and there's some features missing from the "Code" tab in Claude Desktop, but just saying "a subscription to code", just goes to show how out of touch that person already is, and that's what resistance does to you when you try to resist making use of any kind of modern tooling or technology.

We have the quietest on-call rotation of any company I've ever worked at. We have a high standard for code review, static verification, and tests. The fact that the code isn't hand-rolled artisanal code, and is generated by AI now, has so far turned out to have no impact on product quality or bugs reported.

Why? Because writing code is the only measure of quality when producing tools? What about Unit and Integration Tests, UX research, and Performance tests.
However, anyone who uses an LLM must remain aware of the limitations of this method.
There are many features of a program that cannot be tested exhaustively and which must be guaranteed by its design. When you do not understand very well the structure of a program it may be difficult to decide what must be tested.
With performance, the confidence in what an LLM produces is even lower, because it is unlikely to know if you have really reached a performance limited by hardware. Obtaining a performance better than a previously existing program does not prove anything, because most existing programs are likely to have a performance much lower than possible.
In many cases you just want a performance good enough, not the best attainable, so you can be content with your LLM-generated program. But you must not fool yourself by believing that this is really the best that can be done.

Generating big chunks code is all I do, all day. I don't write code by hand any more, neither at work, nor for side projects. I work mostly in Rust and TypeScript at a developer tools company.

I think because it's so specifically sharpened to stab at the software developer, my compatriot, one of the foremost primary populations here, rather than just an overall shitty human insult -- and timed to do so when the person opens up in an honest dialogue about what they're doing.
But good news: every large software house i've talked to in the past two years is touching AI. As tragic as that is for a multitude of good reasons surrounding the workforce/copyright/ip/human-laziness/loss-of-skill/etc, that means imric is going to be outside of software , by their own rules, in totality in just a few short years!
Happy days!

I don't care about token use, I pay per request in my cheap coding plan. I didn't notice slower outputs, it's even faster than An…
I've only been using free tokens for a year now. Gemini and they just dropped pro so I switched to minimax. Bit of a hurdle switching from Gemini-cli to kilo-cli, but now I can't really see too much difference. If I was starting new projects I'd pay for a better model, but honestly I don't really know any different. I've not ever used Claude and people seem to rave about it. Maybe its good, but I doubt its $200/month…
You can "feel" the llm being limited with Gemini, less so with Claude. Hopefully even less so with chatgpt
one expensive and hard lesson we will learn overtime is that you can't compress generality beyond a point.
Generating big chunks of code is rarely what I want from an agent. They really shine for stuff like combing through logs or scanning dozens of source files to explain a test failure. Which benchmark covers that? I want the debugging benchmark that tests mastery of build systems, CLIs, etc.
Where is a RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB 500$? Edit : The 8GB seems to hit this price but 16 not so much.
