What do you do? I’m 200 bucks deepseek flash in about 2 months and it’s increasing

I use it as main Hermes model that orchestrates codex/droid harnesses with subscriptions for heavy dev work

I do have ChatGPT as main assistant that sets direction and delegation of projects to Hermes

At my increasing usage, kind of 200 usd subscriptions makes sense and max out on Luna max

I put 5 dollars at deepseek a long time ago, and somehow it has never been fully spent, can’t imagine anyway to spend 200$ on that thing

Recently, drivers for a bunch of obscure hardware. Lots of c\c++, that i am ok with but not enough to make hardware drivers (i am just impatient). Just using pi agent with a few plugins.

How complex are they? Drivers vs an entire application would be a big difference in token usage, and it could also depend on the type of work being done.

Complex enough where performance matters. I've done entire applications, client, server, infra and ci as an experiment with deepseek v4 pro a few months ago. Works for that too.
