Thanks for trying it and your feedback. I'm keeping tabs on open source/local models and will include them as soon as it's feasible.

I hear you on the API costs. You should see my OpenAI bills from building Plandex :-/

If you're thinking it is expensive, wait until you start to play with Claude Opus. Sooner or later I will declare bankrupt

Nice product BTW. I really liked the UI, is very polished

Sorry if you have answered this before, but can you estimate how many man hours were saved using OpenAI or was the high usage more test related?

I have used Plandex a lot to help build Plandex faster, but yeah the high API costs are much more due to testing, where I need to run large tasks over and over in rapid succession in order to debug problems or iterate on the built-in prompts.
