Companies are scrambling to curtail soaring AI costs

If I may suggest people move away from harasses and start using Emacs. Gptel is amazing and the rest of Emacs plays incredibly well with llm development. Since the human is always in the loop token costs are also tiny compared to anything else.

I don’t quite understand what you’re suggesting.

i believe something like this: https://mwolson.org/blog/emacs/2025-12-03-my-emacs-ai-setup/

for those who use vim (me) there's also, e.g., this: https://voipnuggets.com/2025/03/30/supercharge-your-vim-edit...

I looked at gptel and eca about a year and a bit ago… how far have they come, at the time they were more geared toward code completion and essentially a buffer for communications - but all while not having some kind of Ralph Loop, Skills, and auto-compaction.

Is this all built in these days so that you can Superpowers a prompt to the point where it will automagically chug along for hours until it’s satisfied it’s completed the end goal?
