I’m trying to save some money. 
Any recommendation on which AI will be cheapest, yet do a good enough job with Spam handling?
I have little experience comparing AIs, and this will be my first time using them for Discourse; hoping someone may have more experience to chime in with.
Also is “Support” the best category for a question like this?
Discourse already has an AI plugin and you can set up to detect spam.
@ondrej Oh yeah I know, I’m wondering about the LLMs. I’ve installed the plugin already.
I’m wondering which one to pick to save money but so that Spam handling will work well enough. Maybe the absolute cheapest one may not work well enough for example? I’m just getting started.
EDIT: Ah, it mentioned there:
Most low-cost LLMs work effectively, such as:
- GPT-4o-mini
- Claude 3.5 Haiku
- Gemini 2.0 Flash
Ok then, I’ll try one of those!
I use OpenRouter’s Gemini for my spam detector, but it doesn’t seem to work for AI chats. It’s free.
When it comes to great bang for buck Gemini 2.0 flash is right up there. It both has a free tier, and for pay tier which comes in (today) at 10 cents for 1 million input tokens. 4o-mini can do the job but is a bit more expensive.
Agree here with @NateDhaliwal that openrouter is a good place to hunt for great deals.
이 질문에 “… 모든 데이터가 유럽에 남아 있도록 하는”이라는 내용을 추가하고 싶습니다.
제 이해로는 OpenRouter가 제공자의 지역 선택을 지원하지 않는 것 같습니다.
유사한 유럽 서비스가 있는지 알고 계신 분이 계신가요?
Wiki 채널을 이 정보를 최신 상태로 유지하는 좋은 장소라고 생각합니다.
하지만 초기 질문이 그곳에서 충분한 관심을 받을 수 있을지 판단하기가 어렵습니다…
Try Mistral Small 3.1 via their official API?
Should cost you less than an euro per month.
