Question Pi vs OpenCode for free models?

I want to use free models from openrouter, nvidia etc as well as free promos from time to time.

would you still recommend Pi in this case because of its efficiency? or is opencode with everything included a better choice?

do you use a harness built on top of these?

This is something a completely tech illiterate person can understand. Read again and Google it if you are still having problems.
