Cortecs.ai, I run Deepseek V4 Flash, Minimax M3, and GLM 5.2 from there. All hosted on European servers. You just add funds, and then use it until empty. No unexpected bill.

This looks promising ! I am currently paying 10$ / month for this other service that is basically a front-end for openrouter. Was searching to switch since :

  1. Don't like the founder and his braindead push for LLM's.
  2. Everything is hosted in the US.
  3. I have cut back on my LLM usage by a lot, to the point that I don't think I spend 10$ worth of tokens. GPT 20B , Gemma 4 27B and DeepSeek v4 flash end up being like 90% of my usage and I try to use them sparingly, keep answers, conversations short.

I do wonder what to do about the frontend? My mentioned service has a pretty good web app with decent UI and it worked on mobile as well without much problems. I actually end up using LLM's quite often on mobile as I read a lot on it.

you can self host librechat, or use their hosted front of you don't want to bother but still prefer to use something open source
