I have a $200 monthly Codex plan. I never run out of budget and it's... disturbingly smart. It's very hard for anything to compete with that right now.

I do occasional experiments where I cancel or downgrade that and try to live on open models only and it just never works out financially or skills wise. There's nobody offering K3 etc at rates that end up being significantly cheaper.

Yet.
