I’m pretty overwhelmed.
I feel like there are so many options that I don’t know which one to choose, and trying things until I find a decent one isn’t really my thing—even though I enjoy it. I’d rather get it right on the first or second try.
Right now I’m testing the Deepseek API, and the price is extremely low if you combine it with a local AI for autocomplete or relatively simple tasks (or if you have a lot of time and can use Qwen 3.6 27B). I also liked Google One AI Pro, but Gemini’s performance for anything other than bug-related tasks is tricky because of its prompting style and how literal it is.
What do you recommend? GPT? Claude? I’ve heard Minimax is quite interesting.
What I’m mainly looking for is something that can last as long as possible, even if it’s “lower” quality, since I can compensate for that with Deepseek.
