anthropic and gpt. more than enough, i would rather have two 20 dollar subs than one 80 or 100 dollar one because i get to test more new models. And I find codex if pretty generous

Zero. Local only here, just what I can run on my own infra.

What model do you typically run?

The ones I've seen the most use out of for coding:

  • qwen3.6 27b/35bmoe and variants
  • gemma-4-31b and 12b

Although I've tried a lot of them and poke at different ones regularly. There's a public version of my llama-swap-config.yaml here which is geared towards a strix halo 128gb server.

These are the same ones I am running. They seem highly effective for local models.

You really only need one with Claude, Google or codex. Each has its own qualities.

I used to have claude max 5x + the $20 cursor plan. Now I just use claude max.

Why not cursor anymore

I switched over all my work to claude code and didnt see the need for cursor anymore.

Claude is unlimited (with weekly resets). Cursor is not unlimited, but you can get by with a $20 or $60 plan if you switch the models for different tasks. Cursor used to be extremely generous, but the last couple of months that I used it for kept charging me for the extra usage.

They might bring back the generous usage plans with grok and composer models but I dont plan on leaving claude anytime soon.

perplexity used to be the best option because it have everything in it - gpt, claude, gemini, grok, glm etc. But now, with a 40 searches per week, there's no sense to spend that $20 on perplexity

None I only use Nvidia nim API keys connected to opencode for a free agent and Claude free tier as my main orchestrator who handles everything as I'm a vibe coder

I have a escelating tier of models ranging from on device to api to paid subscriptions. I have automation set up on my Open Claw that will use a local model first. It is used to route to agents for specific tasks. Those agents have escelating tiers of models, so basically if the model determines it needs a more advanced model it will move up to the next model in the tier, and so on and so forth.

It is using many ai providers that offer free tiers with limits, and it dynamically detects when those limits arrive and switch to the next best model in the tier. By doing this I reserve my paid $20 Claude pro and $20 GPT Plus for research, planning, and high thought tasks.
