That's an eternity when it comes to coding models.
In my personal experience, we've had almost a step change every ~3 months this year, at least for bigger one-shot tasks. For example looking at Gemini Flash 3.0 vs 3.5 vs 3.8, it went 5% -> 30% -> 75% on DeepSWE, all since the start of the year.
These days, there are more intelligent models like DS4.1, but Mimo is very obedient, so I plan things with another model and give the implementation to Mimo.
I’ll give Mimo a try.
UltraSpeed was absolutely awesome. I miss it.
DS 4.1 Flash is amazing. Well worth the extra cost.
And I am not a web developer! It's an extraordinary model.

It’s good enough that I’m considering a second spark, or selling this and buying an M5 Ultra with 256GB for it
I always found that those Mimo models to be really good at tool calling and following instructions
API may be expensive, but I do 900m tokens (95% cached, ~0.4% output) on Z.ai's $18/mo coding plan with GLM 5.3 Flash.
For comparison, I am currently at 6.6B tokens, 95% of monthly quota on a 10$ command code plan, mostly using DeepSeek flash 4.1, or some of the free models for easier tasks.
