🔥Qwen3 Coder vs. Kimi K2 vs. Claude Sonnet 4 Coding Comparison 🚀

Shrijal Acharya on August 05, 2025

With recent models from Moonshot AI (Kimi K2), Alibaba didn't fall behind. Alibaba released Qwen3-Coder, an agentic coding model available in multi...

+ Groq. It's quantized, and that's what I hate about these.

Do you replace Claude with any of these recent models for coding? 😮‍💨

Big Claude fan too! I like the Geometry Dash results you got, reminds me of the browser games I've been helping my 2-year-old build with Cline in VSC. Your output looks better though. We should step up our game! 😆

Oh, wow, it's so lovely to hear that. A 2-year-old building browser games? Wow, such talent. 🫡 Guess I'm getting replaced by them in the future... 🤧

AI helps 😄 It's awesome to see his joy at bringing ideas to life! It'll be a whole other world for tomorrow's kids. I wrote about it here, including the set up: dev.to/meimakes/my-2-year-old-ship...

These really help choose a good LLM over time as the way tech is moviing nowadays. you can't stick to one for a very long.

My personal preference is Claude but looking objectively it didn't do any flame animation at all. And its Geometry Dash UI is extremely basic, Qwen's design is much better.

Claude all the way. I don't care about the animation; if it can get the logic correct, that's all that matters. I mostly use these LLMs for things other than these UIs, so if it can handle logic well, I don't care if it hogs the animations.

In your post, you write about UI (and show UI) but don't mention/compare the logic. Thus my comment.

Interesting that Claude Sonnet 4 consistently performed better across tasks. I wonder if its architecture is just inherently better suited for agentic coding.

Yeah, Claude all the way for agentic coding. I'm always shocked at how good its models are, and I've been using Sonnet recently for all my tasks, mostly coding, and couldn't be happier.
