Choosing the Right Tool
- Most AI chatbots offer free tiers, so it is worth trying several before paying for one default.
- For coding, Cursor and Claude Code are strong starting points if you want fast repo-aware assistance.
- For local models, start with LM Studio or Ollama before moving to lower-level runtimes like llama.cpp or MLX.
- For image generation, the right choice depends on whether you care more about art direction, editing, or open local control.
- OpenRouter is useful when you want one API entry point for many model providers.
- Check our LLM comparison for detailed pricing and benchmark data.
