200 bucks a month?

Is a lot of money. The majority of people here aren't willing to spend $200/mo for coding unless their little projects provide a comparable value back to them.

For context, I'm paying under $30/year and get GLM-5.2. An extra $2300/year isn't going to get me much better outcomes.

The point is that the less capable models are also borderline AGI. You're paying 10-100x more to get a few percentage points improvement in performance.

Put another way, what I get for my under $3/mo is better than what you were getting 3-5 months ago paying $200/mo. So you're paying a lot just to be ahead by a few paltry months.
