Very interesting. What sort of tasks do you use it for, and what client do you use?

When you want to use a custom client and a coding plan to control costs (daily use, a few hundred USD/m budget), this is the landscape:

- Anthropic/Google: Deterring custom clients actively

- OpenAI: Grey area.

- Z.ai: Technically only allows clients in their (large) approved list of clients. Likely won't actively ban custom clients.

- Moonshot: Seem to allow custom clients?

- DeepSeek/Alibaba: No coding plans at this time
