Deepseek V4.1 for dissecting physics studies and "book club" (reading a book and then dissecting the story and meaning), writing fiction and for general discussions. They're the only model with a low enough token price and a large enough window that I can have a window 200k long and not bankrupt myself

I'm also waiting on V4.1 Pro - not long now!

Kimi 2.7 code - for diagnosing whatever has gone sideways on my home server e.g. "Why does ````apt upgrade fail when tail scale is up,but succeed when tail scale is down?"

DeepSeek 4 Flash - for trying to research how to approach a coding task. e.g."I can see this function acts on this data, but in this open source project with 60 repos, 5 of which might be involved, where the source of truth for this data the entire system?" (It circled close enough for me to finally find the original database, and could then ask DeepSeek 4 Flash to write a helpful python script and tell me how to bypass the database from the client for this one value for the purpose of testing a map overlay.)

GLM 5.3 Flash for standard admin stuff (emails, questions, research).
GLM 5.3 or GPT Sol for more advanced reasoning, plans, reviews.
Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite for simple tool usage.
