I've been using architect mode in aider
Deepseek R1 (does high level planning) combined with Qwen3 480B (does low level coding) or whatever is available from qwen code apis.
It's working great.
It solves 99.99% problem on tis own.
The seperation isn't very good in aider so i later plan to make my own tool to achieve better workflow.
What’s your monthly bill (OpenRouter?) if I may ask? I have Claude Max and always on the lookout for alternatives, at least for the easier to solve problems.
