    What models are you all using lately? I find Minimax M3 useful for most coding and price quality to make the most sense. I’m using it via openrouter in cursor along with composer 2.5 for the heavier stuff. I’m building a Shopify app with TypeScript, Prisma, Polaris. Are there any better combos?
