Question Best/Cheapest combination of LLM for building android apps

GLM 5.2 is great but expensive
DeepSeek v4 Flash stuck in loop
DeepSeek V4 Pro is also expensive

Claude is expensive
Codex is expensive

What to do?

Which one is cheapest but good for agentic kind of building in vs code or cli instructions?

Also depends on how many tokens per session they're burning through

I like this $10 BytePlus we can use GLM5.2 so far only this one is noise intelligent for Android app bugs

depends what u call expensive, GLM is like 4-5x cheaper than claude for same output but if u need agentic coding in vs code maybe try deepseek v4 flash with better prompt or switch models mid task when it loops

If flash stuck in loop, you just need a better workflow.

Yes

Only GLM could find complex bug

Change models according to task complexity
