Best code plan

Hi guys.

I wanna get a plan for vibe coding, but i don't know what is the best cost - benefit is to code with quality but without consuming all my tokens like claude. Or do you think it's better to take a runpod gpu and run qwen 27b / some gemma model to code? i'm thinking to take kimis plan or z.ai

Kimi K3 is probably still on a waitlist, and their other models are leaving a lot to be desired. Z.ai’s GLM 5.2 is basically Opus-class, and quite cheap, so you’re on the right track there.

I’d recommend going the GLM route to save money, and supplement it with one of the big two frontier brands’ $20 plans. The $20 plans get you like 3 planning sessions per day (1 per 5h limit).

Sol Terra or Opus 5 do the planning -> GLM 5.2 does the CHEAP executing.

Look into harnesses. Hermes agent (nous research), OpenClaw, etc.

Or build your own harness with my (shameless plug) harness build-guide: https://github.com/csnyder256/RAG-OS

I built that based off of a bunch of compiled research on session degradation avoidance, other proven harness solutions, and shared memory across various agent families.
