A user shares a month-long comparison of five Chinese coding LLMs (Kimi K2.6, GLM-5.1, MiMo V2.5 Pro, MiniMax 2.7, DeepSeek V4 Pro) on a TypeScript/Next.js codebase, rating each in categories like frontend, backend, code review, all-rounder, and reasoning. They note MiniMax 2.7 achieves ~90% of Opus 4.6 quality at ~7% cost and speculate whether the upcoming MiniMax 3.0 will close gaps in planning and test coverage to become the top spot.
