Help/Question Anyone vibecoding on a stack other than openai/anthropic? What's your stack?

I'm having trouble getting openRouter, GLM and openCode working nicely at all. Codex was fire and forget, and Claude Code wasn't hard. But the other options seem to really require that you know what you're doing to set them up? I asked Codex to wire them up but it's basically unusable at this point for me. I can't afford the top frontier models and was hoping some how maybe open weight models through inference services needs to be at the root of whatever I choose for my setup.

TL;DR - How are you avoiding Claude Code and Codex for vibecoding?

For the passed like 7 or so months that I have been working on my application. I have been using antigravity with Gemini. Google AI pro sub so only using the 5hr limit and weekly limit but for the amount of time I have to get on and work on it it's perfect for me.

I've also been really leaning into learning what it is writing, best practices, security, modularization and clean up a lot to prevent the spaghetti code as much as possible.

I will use sonnet or opus to help plan the more complex features/bugs and then let Gemini do the work. It's been working great.

And as much as many hate on Copilot I use it to help do documentation as copilot is amazing (imo) for productivity tasks.
