I don't use LLMs for code generation except for very simple, small things because they suck at it and I wouldn't want to ship what they write.

Since I use LLMs basically only for analysis and as a signal in bug discovery, debugging, research and general search, I don't need a very powerful model and I don't need high token counts. A $100 subscription would be entirely way too much for useful usage for me, and would border on just using tokens for the sake of using them.
