CLIP-as-serivce
CLIP is an embedding model that computes similarities between images and text. It is widely used in diffusion models, such as Stable Diffusion. CLIP-as-service by Jina AI makes it easy to integrate CLIP into your service. I became interested in this because one of my favorite engineers, Kat posted about it on X (formerly Twitter).

Cline and Cody
Cline and Cody are available as VSCode extensions. If you don't want to spend much money, using these might help save on AI subscriptions. I’m not sure about their advantages because I haven’t tried them yet, so I need to give them a shot. However, I think if you can afford it, GitHub Copilot or Cursor might be better choices.
