I had gotten a student/ultra code for antigravity promo for three months, so I was using that, but that finally ran out this month. Currently Im using windstream and flipping between claude as my left brain and code extraction and the higher context but cheaperish models there.

honestly though, im getting to a point where im running custom project mds that flip between different models for different things, using list outputs depending on what it finds and runs. (I have two monorepo projects, and one thats a polyglot microengine that jumps using gRPC communication.)

The mds are highly specialized for each project as each project deals with vastly different issues. Cycling through the different pro accounts and keeping the mds in place over it all is helping me not kill my wallet.

hmm interesting model routing + specialized MDs makes sense for cost efficiency.

I’m seeing a different failure mode though that even with good routing, agents are looping or retrying and burning my money.
