  • ChatGPT (OpenAI) - ChatGPT the OG GenAI.
  • Openrouter - The 'hub' for API access to all LLMs on the market today
  • OpenCode - Claude code but opensource
  • NotebookLM - AI-powered research and writing assistant that helps users summarise, question, and explore information from uploaded documents.

  • Venice AI - Uncensored and private AI - If you are accessing from the UK you will need a VPN more info here.
