#42I spend $300 a month for Claude Max $200 and Google AI Ultra $100. Google Meets with live translation feature is a must-have for me, because I communicate with international clients almost everyday. It also gives me $40 monthly Google cloud credit where I can use it to test my client projects or my open source projects. Claude is my main tool for design, coding, and almost everything.

#43$0. but I use at least $8,000 worth of monthly tokens. I used to have: $200 Claude-max $10 github copilot $20 chatgpt $20 Cursor --- then, I spent roughly $5000 in tokens for a project which turned out to be a dud. Figured, inference wasn't going anywhere as its now 80% of my day. So, I built a 4x DGX Spark cluster and put GLM5.2 on it. Then put a few qwen models for vision and embedding purposes on my original DGX S…
Will that initial investment ever pay off?

#44Previously $0 using local models, then $10/mo with GitHub Copilot, cancelled that when it became a bad deal, now $10/mo with OpenCode Go. I haven't seen a better deal than OpenCode Go yet. You get more in token spend than with using providers directly due to some volume discounts they pool.
Great. I'm debating the exact decision. Will quickly follow your path now. Github -> Opencode Go
Move to CommandCode GOAT - OpenCode Go has slashed DS limits

#45$20 cursor pro plan only, grok 4.6 is good enough and cheap
Patiently waiting for Composer 3 to launch

#46$30/mo for Synthetic (open weight models with ZDR and high throughput) + whatever coding plan the flavour of the month is (last month was $20 on NeuralWatt, this month $4.99 on ClinePass for DSFlashV4 mostly)
