DeepSeek v4 Flash working quite well
If you've tried PaperClip but find the token use is too expensive even to try, I can recommend DeepSeek v4 Flash. I'm running it via OpenRouter with OpenCode as the agent harness.
It's easy to burn 10m+ tokens so unless you have cash to burn, this is a good option.
I'm going to experiment more with smaller and tightly scoped tasks (or rather, asking the agent to do that) and try with smaller, faster models. Anyone else trying this I'd love to hear about it!
