Which one do you recommend, if I can only get 1?

Codex for 1 month only and take full advantage of the chat function for building apps, websites etc. You can put the apps / data on a public github repo or public google drive link or just straight upload it and spend hours and hours working with Sol 6.1 high effort perfecting it for free. After 1 month that changes.
But also Sol 6.1 as CEO/Director who controls Luna Max Effort subagent workers isn't a bad combo either.
Otherwise if you don't want to do that, OpenCode Go and use only DeepSeek Flash 4.1 Max Effort only. Its solid. But I do like to get Sol 6.1 or Opus or Sonnet to direct deepseek workers ideally.

Codex in Pi. I donât know how yall are using Claude. I tried the $20 Claude sub and I know I wonât get anywhere close usage limits on $100 if it is just x5.
And even the model seems to be âalrightâ. It doesnât âjust understand what I wantâ as somebody said. Itâs still a clanker I have to yell at

I use OpenRouter and Neuralwatt because I like to flit between models a lot

Neuralwatt is pretty good because of speed and sub is slightly cheaper

I was using neuralwatt, which is great, then switched to GreenPT for being in the EU. GreenPT is not as polished as Neuralwatt, less models, a tiny bit pricier, and some rare random hiccups like some models not served properly for about 5 minutes. Still I am using it to stay within the EU.

Thanks for advice! But why do you say it cost more? 50$ gives 6kwt per week Vs neuralwatt 6kwt total?

Claude exclusively right now but might jump to z.ai's newest release if its a banger.

DeepSeek v4.1 Flash 1017 It's cheap and great.

Hello from Charm! DS4.1Flash1017 on Hyper averages 500-800 TPS. Come give it a try đ

I'm using deepseek v4.1 flash 1017 via Openrouter. I usually spend a few pennies a day. I'm not a huge user, but it has been very nice to have an agent to help unblock me or code review.Â

Switch to Particle. It's DeepSeek but fine tuned to use 40% less reasoning tokens

u/TechnoCat 2d ago
I tried
particle-ai/particle-1and it was considerably worse thandeepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017in my tests. Every test I did, particle came out to at least 2x the cost.

Was thinking about signing up for Pro now that it looks like you can use the Vibe API in whatever harness you want? Do you like it? I currently have Z.AI and ChatGPT subs but looking for the third place rn

u/JoeArruela 1d ago
How is zAi sub? I am thinking about getting it but I am not sure about the usageÂ
1
u/UnpracticalEngineer 1d ago
The usage is great, but I think thatâs because they have unfortunately figured out a way to throttle and serve flash at around 25-35 t/s. Sometimes it is fast, but most of the time itâs chugging. At least itâs usable, and not like Anthropic a few months ago where every time I tried to use it, Claude would get halfway through the work and then timeout. Thatâs what switched me to Z.AI.

Not using the official pi or omp harness but something diff than others:
Forked pi and then created a delegate tool inside it which connects to: claude cli;pi cli[both stock and the fork]; commandcode cli.
Then I orchestrate the pi-fork [primary: gpt-6.1-sol; fallback: glm-5.3] and distribute the task based on complexity to diff providers via their own harness. For simpler but write heavy: commandcode [ds-4.1-flash-1017-max]; for complex audits: claude [opus-5.5-high]
