You can use open models through OpenRouter, but if you want good open models they’re actually pretty expensive fairly quickly as well.

I've found MiniMax 2.7 pretty decent and even pay-as-you-go on OpenRouter, it's $0.30/mt in, and $1.20/mt out you can get some pretty heavy usage for between $5-$10. Their token subscription is heavily subsidized, but even if it goes up or away, its pretty decent. I'm pretty hopeful for these openweight models to become affordable at good enough performance.
It’s okay, but if you compare it to eg Sonnet it’s just way too far off the mark all the time that I cannot use it.
