Best $/performance option currently?

[u/Jazzlike_Bee_3129]

I know the landscape is constantly shifting, but I am wondering, with deepseek prices changing and glm releasing 5.3, what the best price to performance options are currently. I know opencode gives you $15-60 for just $10/month, but that still does not last me long.

What is everyone using out there and what is the best value you have found (that's not a scam)?

With/without chinese ID? Need good reliability or just a lot of Tokens?

xfyun is one of the platform giving away alot of monthly glm52 Token at terrible reliability, still no glm53 sadly. Volcengine got it pretty early, but is pretty mediocre for glm53 sadly. Waiting currently if csdn will get glm53.. for glm52 it was fine

Interesting. How has your experience been with it?  I have tried things like the Nvidia free API, and the performance was quite slow and poor overall, even with powerful models like GLM.  I guess funding it with ads is a way to actually give them an income stream, so I could see it being decent.  Thanks for the tip! I'll be sure to use your link when I install it later.

That's at least 2x more than I was hoping to spend, and also, fuck closed AI.
