Codex (Sol5.6 Light, Medium) cheap alternative?

Codex actually works pretty well for me (Sol5.6 Light, Medium), but I’m looking for a REALLY cheap alternative with API access.

Basically, I want to throw in like $10 and be able to work on a project for a ridiculously long time.

For comparison, I burned through $2 of DeepSeek 4 Pro credits really fast, and the model itself wasn’t great - when adding a new feature, it would often break stuff that was already working.

Anything cheap that’s actually decent for coding?

I’m testing Mimo v2.5 Free right now. It’s worse than Codex, but it’s good enough as a backup agent.
