@zodchiii the rule everyone's gonna scroll past: do not repeat a read-only call when nothing has changed. that one line is half the bill right there. discipline > horsepower
@Bober_smart most people pay top AI to say skip all day is the whole thing. the expensive model should never be the one deciding to skip, that's a fractions-of-a-cent job. Jev gates, Sol only talks when it's earned
@OleksjK1 exactly the point. you're not paying for a smarter model, you're paying for it to stay quiet until something actually needs it. the boring 90% never should've woken it up
@magsimich the cold beads died the hot beads got a sentence is the whole system in one line. the bill was never the model, it was letting it talk to every cold bead
