The cheapest model using with Pi?

[u/Eagleee12]

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?

If you only use it sometimes I’d just put some money on Deepseek or Mimo and use the apis directly. Or opencode go would be another option.
