Here's a handy tip that I've been using each time a new model drops...
Get opencode installed, have a openrouter account with like $10 credit on it
And have a saved prompt you can run each time to test the new model.
For example today, gemini 3.6 Flash dropped. My interest is more in website builds.
So i have it generate a rebuild of the homepage of a website that hasn't changed in years, i have the prompt like simply. As :
"Give me a redesign of xxxxx.com.au homepage, keeping the brand colours and logos the same, but a fresh new look and save it as gemini3-6 as a html/css file"
I then watch it run, and can make a judgement if it's better or worse than what I've seen, how well it took my vague instructions and followed them, and speed, token cost (as i can see real cost)
Then i figure out can I use it in any way to improve my systems.
Saves reading up on the hype of all models and will it fit your purpose but just running something like a baseline test on each model drop.
For example GLM 5.x I feel is always overhyped by bots flooding X each time it drops, i test and thought ok it wasn't bad. But this week I fired up Kimi 3 and feel off my chair as it blew me away with the design compared to all my other tests, Gemini wasn't that impressive but its a cheap model and i see what it can do. I also test grok 4.5 when it dropped and while the websites where good, i did love the speed so have slid that in for some work now as feels nice to have things produce so fast from a kimi design for example
(Also make sure you isolate your previous tests, so the AI dosn't cheat and look at other AI results and improve)
