So you are using the API directly in your own harness without the subscription?

Yeah, I made a simple agent based on this tutorial:

It's slightly bigger now, but here's a ~50 line version for reference. I added the missing outer while-loop, so it takes user input etc.

I mostly use it with GLM via their coding plan, I got a year for like $20 when it was on sale. But I also hooked it up to Sonnet, Opus, GPT, etc.
