What coding agent(ideally CLI) have people found works well with this?
Occasionally I go and try different agents with openrouter models, but nothing seems to really get close to the proprietary ones like claude-code.

By the way OpenRouter version is very slow for some reason. DeepSeek platform is faster (and cheaper with the discount) if you don't mind passing the credit card number / email to this company.
Sidenote, I've been trying deepseek-v4-flash and I'm blown away. It's no Opus, but it's as cheap as tap water and punches far above its weight as a Flash model. I keep throwing tasks at it out of curiosity and it keeps solving them.
