Lab notes

  • Cheapest completed run I have recorded, by a lot

    Aider/13 Aug 2026

    I tracked token spend across the nine prompts for four different agents. This one came in at roughly a third of the nearest commercial option and finished the spec, which is the part people leave out when they say the cheap option does not work. The discipline is what makes it cheap: it only reads the files you add, so you are not paying to send a repository through the model on every turn. The cost of that discipline is real too. Anything that needs a change across many files at once is slower and needs more of my attention, and prompt seven took me three attempts to steer.

    Same conclusion from the free side. Bring your own key and the licence cost is zero, so more attempts per hour is close to more attempts per euro.
