Stop using OpenAI for everything: The best cheaper alternatives

OpenAI is amazing, but using it for every background task is like using a Ferrari to deliver pizzas. For data parsing, DeepSeek costs almost nothing.
Instead of rewriting code, use a compatible aggregator like Lumio API. Just change the baseURL from OpenAI to Lumio, and you instantly access cheaper models.
🎁 Lumio is giving away 1M Free Tokens for beta testers right now. Claim here: https://lumioapi.com/
