Cheaper AI Model Alternatives to GPT-4 for Automation Tasks
Hey all, I’ve been using GPT-4 via API for some automation tasks (e.g. checking URLs for relevant content, extracting product info, etc.), but it's going to get expensive at scale. I’m looking for more cost-effective models that can still handle structured prompt-based tasks like basic filtering, content checks, and lightweight data extraction. Would love to hear what others are using — Claude, Gemini, Mistral, or open-source stuff that plays nicely with tools like n8n? Cheers
