Muse Spark 1.2 Contributor hits hard for the price
. Cheaper than DS-v4-flash, performance close to GPT-5.5. Trade-off: Meta trains on your data.

commandcode just launched a $10 plan.
$70 in credits, open source + closed source models included. Honestly the $1 plan is still better bang for your buck this $10 tier is basically paying for closed source access.

Google AI Ultra is underrated.
I upgraded to Google's top AI tier and I'm not mad about it. Two prices: $99.99 for 5x usage, $199.99 for 20x. Both come with monthly Cloud credits, $40 or $100, which you can burn on Gemini API calls. The $300 credit for new accounts is one and done, but Ultra's keep arriving, and they cover third party models too, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, Kimi. Twelve months of that and the plan costs about half what you're paying. The Gemini app has 4 Argon plus Gemini Spark, an agent that just stays on between your messages. Flow hands you 10,000 to 25,000 credits, enough video generation that I stopped counting. Flow Music is 30,000 credits a month, around 6,000 songs, commercial use included. Antigravity runs 4 Argon and the weekly quota doesn't bottleneck me. Only thing I hate is the 5 hour refresh window. Standard Google stuff comes with it too: 20 to 30 TB of storage, YouTube Premium, Home Premium Advanced, an AI coach in Google Health.

Gemini got caught training its models on all user data.
Here's the insane part: Google puts "training data" and "chat history" behind one toggle called "Keep Activity." Leave it on and you feed the model by default, paid users and all. Turn it off and you're out of training, but you also lose your chat memory and linked apps. For anything sensitive, stick to Temporary Chat.
