How heavy are the API costs for that?

For a project like yours I guess you should be given free credits. I hope that happens, but so far nobody has even given Karpathy a good standalone mic.

If you use DeepSeek Coder V2 0724 (that is #2 after Claude 3.5 Sonnet on the Aider leaderboard), the costs are very, very small. https://aider.chat/2024/07/25/new-models.html

Not much. I spent $25 on Anthropic in July.

I'm an active aider user, I spent ~$120 last month on a combo of Sonnet and Opus. It was much more expensive, as you probably know, with Opus. Now it's rather reasonably priced and more sustainable, IMO.
