Exploring AI APIs: Finding the Right Stack for Small Projects
Hey DEV community! 馃憢 I鈥檓 starting to explore the AI API ecosystem and looking for practical ways to build useful applications with modern language models. I鈥檓 particularly interested in: Comparing developer experience across AI providers Understanding API pricing, rate limits, and reliability Buil

I鈥檓 starting to explore the AI API ecosystem and looking for practical ways to build useful applications with modern language models.
I鈥檓 still exploring the landscape, so I鈥檇 love to learn from developers who have worked with different providers.
If you were starting a new AI-powered side project today, how would you choose between different API providers?
I鈥檇 be especially interested in hearing about your experiences with Claude and OpenAI APIs.
Looking forward to learning from the community and sharing what I build along the way. 馃殌
