I have been using Google gemini 2.5 flash API(free tier) for my side projects, I have had really bad experiences, but I really want a good alternative to this which can atleast work.
I've heard about deepseek v4 like it's really got very good, and they offer 1 month I guess 5M token cap trial, but then it's post paid, but it's kinda cheap, cheaper than other models I would say. Do you guys have other better alternative.
