Launch AI Model Explorer1. The Economics of High-Frequency Vibe Coding
A typical vibe coding session with tools like Cursor, Roo Code, or Continue.dev sends the full file tree and open editor tabs with every user prompt. Under commercial pricing ($15 to $75/1M tokens), an evening of flow-state coding can easily run up a $20 to $50 bill. By routing your editor's custom OpenAI endpoint to Groq's Llama 3.3 70B or Mistral Codestral, your token cost is exactly $0.00.
