- **Qwen** (Qwen3-Max / Qwen3-Max-Thinking / Qwen3-Coder-Plus) — Alibaba's flagship, strong all-rounder
- **GLM** (GLM-5 / GLM-4.7) — Zhipu AI, top-tier coding & agent tasks
- **Kimi** (K2.5 / K2.5-Thinking) — Moonshot AI, great for long context & vision
- **Doubao Seed 2.0** (Pro / Lite / Mini) — ByteDance, fast & cheap
- **MiniMax** (M2.5) — Lightweight powerhouse, runs locally too
