Have you tried OpenRouter and the DeepSeek-like models? If you try to optimize a little you could probably slash those costs.

I send a ton of requests and even reaching $10 for the month would take more calls than I have capacity to review and use. And as I said, that's for a ton of requests.

I use Synthetic, Neuralwatt, and Opencode. My usage is fairly high, I'm at 1.5B tokens in the last 7 days. ;)
