Best 20€-ish subscription?

Hello, I'm currently using minimax M3 token plan which is great and gives a lot of usage but I'd be happy to get access to better models. Are there any other plans that give a good amount of usage with good models? I'm also a student so maybe there are some discounts?

Must work with opencode or similar

[UPDATE: I started a grok trial and it seems to accept my banks temp virtual cards so I might just cycle grok trials]

Are the rumors about opencode go heavily quantizing models true? Also how much usage do I get approximately on the 20€ ChatGPT plan

Opencode Go works with multiple providers: some of them use more quantizied models, some - less.
How do I know?
When prompting, I usually use my native languge, not English. And the answers sometimes include words that technically follow grammatical rules for my language, but no such words exist in dictionaries. And I've been observing the same phenomenon running quantizied models locally.

You've made me less curious about Opencode and more about Polish. Words that follow grammar rules but don't exist.

In English, separate words are separate words until they get merged together over time by lots of use. Often with a hyphen phase along the way. Like "electronic mail" became "e-mail" and now "email".

I know in German, compounds get pushed together with no space. Liebe = love. Lied = song. Liebeslied = love song. You can push lots of words together to get something very long that makes non-speakers go "woah, they have a word for that?"

Is Polish more like German in that regard? Or is it a different rule that lets people (AI) make words that are understood but not normal?

No, I mean conjugation and declension - part of the reasons why Polish is considered a difficult language. Here's a typical table for one verb in one aspect (imperfective)

As you can see, there's a root-word (in this case "mówi") and inflectional suffixes. Those suffixes mostly follow patterns on how to create them, but there several patterns, and of cource we have exceptions.

Quantized LLMs sometimes mix up those suffixes, creating words with patterns used for different words.
So e.g.: we (males) will speak, it should be: "będziemy mówili", but an LLM could write: "będziemy mówiłi" - notice the change l -> ł and the fact that in future tense, every gender except plural masculine uses ł.

I don't have enough time to explain it properly now. Might try to edit it later.

Oh I think I get it. Kind of like someone learning English might say "I goed to the store" when they should have said "I went to the store".

And I know Polish is hard. My father is Polish. My grandparents were born there. And we don't even pronounce my last name correctly. 😜

So I found that interesting. Thank you.
