I currently use abacus.ai , which acts as a front end to a variety of models for a single fee. They have an AI agent of their own which routes the prompt to the model that will answer the question the best / lowest cost. However, you can select a specific model if you want. chatgpt5 - factual queries, programming assistance google nanobanana - image generation; fallback to grok if I hit censorship I'll sometimes play around with httpds://sdxl.akash.network if want to develop the prompt before spending credits on it. Abacus CEO Bindu Reddy is a big advocate for open source / open weight AI's (a big part of their business is setting up local AI's for businesses that don't want to leak proprietary information to the closed source AI firms). I'm planning to try nano-gpt.com. It's similar to abacaus.ai , in that it has multiple models. But it's a pay as you go service that takes cryptocurrency (nano, monero,dash, etc). They say they don't store prompts, and send only the prompt (no identifying information, such as IP address) to the AI's. I've got some programming projects I'll be starting soon, so I'm planning to try qoder, claude, copilot, and cursor for that purpose.
