Here are the best AI subscriptions you can buy based on how much money you can spend:

$20/month
→ Codex

Best starter option.
You get the most value from one single subscription without overcomplicating your setup.

$50/month
→ $20 Codex + $20 Cursor + $10 OpenCode

Best budget combo.

Codex gives you strong reasoning/coding help

Cursor gives you access to the Composer 2.5 + IDE workflow

OpenCode gives you access to Chinese models

$100/month
→ Codex

At this point, I’d rather go deeper on one strong tool than spread money across too many subscriptions.
Less context switching, more focus.

$160/month
→ $100 Codex + $60 Cursor

Best serious builder setup.

Codex for heavy reasoning, planning, debugging and implementation help.

Cursor for redefining the UI with Composer 2.5 + Opus access

$200/month

Depends on what type of developer you are

If you just need best value for subscription and more logic/backend stuff go with Option 1

→ Option 1: $200 Codex
Best if you want one main AI tool and don’t want to think too much.

If you’re also a fan of front end development and more “human to model” interaction a mix of Codex and Claude fits you best

→ Option 2: $100 Codex + $100 Claude Code
Best if you want two strong coding agents with different styles and outputs.

Let me know what will you buy and what you’re using already!

@akramcodez Congratulations

@akramcodez Excited for rtx spark

@haha_girrrl Congratulations

[Mustafa @oprydai]

the gap between alien tech and human tech is engineering

@justbyte_ He was running his models locally

[Shivam Sharma @CodeWithSSharma]

@Annu_NexraAI Best of luck

[Shivam Sharma @CodeWithSSharma]

@parker__conrad It’s great

[Shivam Sharma @CodeWithSSharma]

@opencode Kimi or deepseek

[Shivam Sharma @CodeWithSSharma]

Used it in opencode , it’s good

[xAI @xai]

grok-build-0.1 is now available via the xAI API in public beta.

This is the same model that powers the Grok Build CLI and excels at agentic coding.

Priced at $1/m input and $2/m output, it’s extremely cost effective, intelligent, and fast.

[Shivam Sharma @CodeWithSSharma]

@quantumaidev @xai We can use it in opencode via oauth

[Shivam Sharma @CodeWithSSharma]

@RahulSain714 Thanks man

[Shivam Sharma @CodeWithSSharma]

Got it

[Shivam Sharma @CodeWithSSharma]

Wish me luck guys

@terencebuilds Thanks for the insight

[Shivam Sharma @CodeWithSSharma]

Started reading Designing Multi-Agent Systems by Victor Dibia.

Most agent tutorials teach frameworks. I’m trying to understand the underlying principles: orchestration, memory, communication, evaluation, and how to design agents that scale beyond simple demos.

For those who’ve built production-grade AI agents, what’s one concept, mistake, or resource you wish you’d learned earlier?

[Shivam Sharma @CodeWithSSharma]

Built my first working AI agent harness
ADK acts as the agent brain, and tools are its hands — the model decides what needs to be done, then ADK safely calls the right file, shell, or app tool to execute it.

[Shivam Sharma @CodeWithSSharma]

can't decide so using grok

[Shivam Sharma @CodeWithSSharma]

Which subscription ($20) is best right now ??

I think you’ll really like Opus 4.8

It’s as smart as its benchmarks show but expresses and utilizes that intelligence in a warm and collaborative way.

Workflows are a great way to utilize it- I’m hooked. Article on that soon.

@amanntwt @AnshikaK7 Nice one
