I’d like to avoid vendor lock in.Also, I’d like to use an open source client - I want to be able to inspect everything, check the system prompt, etc.Is anyone here using a setup like this?Does this get close in pricing and efficiency to the subsidized plans offered by model providers (like Claude Pro, etc)?In particular Deepseek and Kimi models are being praised as both efficient and cheap; I’m curious if anyone built a coding setup around them.
