FAQ

Which model do you recommend for Cursor?
Claude Sonnet 5 is a solid default. For cheaper strong code, try Kimi K2.7 Code or DeepSeek Pro. Opus 5 when the agent touches many hard files.
Does this work with OpenCode / Claude Code?
Yes. Point the base URL to Geek Hub, paste your API key, and pick any of these model ids.
Do I need a dedicated “code” model?
Not always. Strong general models (Sonnet, GPT-5) already code well. Dedicated “code” SKUs help when you want specialization or better price in that niche.
