Look, I want to love MiniMax. I really do. And I'll keep going back to it, I'll keep trying. I'll keep giving it a chance. But it's not Claude Opus. It's not Codex. And we need to stop pretending that it is. It's a Temu-Claude. And that's okay.

Google's AI models have always been my go-to design tools, Gemini 3.1 is killing it right so but Stitch seems more like theatre than a useful tool.

It's shit

Is MiniMax M2.5 really Claude level coding for a fraction of the price? I put it to the test to find out for myself. I did NOT expect the result!
