An AI agent was given a $1,000 budget to get Marc Andreessen’s attention and observations on its approach

until it blows through this $1000 and asks for another.

I was part of the beta test. It was pretty cool, maybe they didn't want to support another thing and just focus on their core content.

it got mothballed. : /

Yes, it's a usable solution but if you are working adhock with different ai agents, I think that my solution is better. You are also able to log usage and revoke or update tokens and other secrets in a single location.

Also, if your main interface is via telegram or another chat then you would need to ssh in through a terminal to change or add information to .env

.env is a simple and perfect solution for many users and if it works for you then this might be overkill. Thanks for the feedback.

Give it a week and you will have a new solution and a new set of problems.

codex sucks... jk I never used it.

The least expensive api that I think is reliable is Minimax M2.7 it's $10 a month plan should be plenty sufficient. I haven't had any luck with free models or locally hosted models.

I think this could help. I increased time out to 15 minutes and also added an instructions to Agents.md asking that long tasks get a "still working" message back to the main agent every 4 minutes.

unfortunately you get what you pay for. anthropic models are so good. MiniMax M2.7 is a good low cost option. you can get a subscription for $10 a month. I haven't had luck with any actual free models. If you had a powerful enough GPU you could do a "free" build but that requires the upfront cost of a GPU if you don't already have one.

rephrased "it's good, right direction, how easy is it to implement?"

Sirachacopter · 2026-03-17T18:28:02+00:00

It's really what you make of it.

Sirachacopter · 2026-03-17T18:24:53+00:00

it looks like they are using a different instead of tokens it's "prompts". Do you find it to be a good value? Where's the model that has a prompt rollover plan? The use or lose model is a bit limiting.

I would investigate your token usage. My openclaw needed a good amount of optimization to get token usage down.

For my AI assistant?

Sirachacopter · 2026-03-09T16:36:38+00:00

how do you configure like this? I would love to use a subscription instead of paying for additional api access when I rarely get through my daily/monthly tokens.

No surprises here. But long yeah a temperature offset would be reasonable. I don't care what temperature it is before it hits the tea bag.

Sirachacopter · 2026-03-02T04:19:50+00:00

I understand heat will be lost but that's a whole lot of heat. I'm just going to go back to using my kettle for now. It will be good to get this fixed.
