Thanks @techman
I had a go at Fabric and made some progress. I was interested to see that the developer, Andrew Meisser, was a guest on Intelligent Machines. He is certainly highly productive in the AI space and I plan to catch up on some of his videos about Fabric and also about AI in general.
Previously you were using z.ai. Are you still using that? They seem to only have a subscription model and that is one of the things I am trying to avoid.
I’ve also followed your guide to openrouter and I’ll see if that provides the answers to my problems at a “reasonable cost”. I can also hook it into the Perplexity based AIs which I currently pay for.
