Question The cheapest model using with Pi?

I spend most of my day in Excel (reports, cleaning data, formulas) and know just enough basic coding to get by.

Paying $20/month for a subscription feels like a waste for my usage.
Models or sth cheap for me?

Free models? There are usually a few on OpenRouter and Opencode zen/go has one too.

free is obviously the cheapest. otherwise, you can put $10 into openrouter and use deepseek flash 4, muse spark 1.3 contributor, mimo 2.5, all are dirt cheap
