    Just a minimum, and this has allowed me to optimize my way of programming to the maximum, I have written an entire operating system ("https://github.com/olmox001/NexsOS1") and I am continuing to maintain it practically only with Claude's $20 plan and Codex and Antigravity's free plans, if I had more to invest I would certainly be able to do better, But I find super subscriptions excessive, there are local inference configurations that allow with that cost to run sufficiently powerful models with huge contexts (Antirez/DS4 is an example).

    About 20 subscriptions mixed (~$5000 a month), around 100K$ (equivalent) in token a month for me. 24/7 running. Everything is automatic, very little human input needed.

      Personally or paid by business?

      this is very interesting, could you talk about your setup or is there a writeup somewhere?
