I could already run Sol High on 3 concurrent side projects 24/7 and not run out of quota.

This is great, but practically, I'm not going to start working on more side projects.

Perhaps in another 6-12 months I'll be fine to drop down to $20/m instead of $200.

How much does it cost you per month to have that much sol high usage and what do you use, api? Through what? Thank you

  • $200/mo

    A lot of what I'm doing has pretty expensive build/testing processes between iterations - even on a 40 core machine - so I'm not burning tokens 24/7 like some people may.

    I'd guess I'm probably spending >50% of the time running tests & build processes & tooling and the remainder is purely burning tokens.

    I also have some internal tooling (that I will hopefully open source soon) that makes LLMs substantially more correct (thus more efficient) - so there's that, too.

  • they said quota so i would imagine the $200 subscription. Probably through Codex or Pi coding agents.

You can now start to add automations on top of typical dev flows.

There are a ton of use cases that open up with cheaper models.

E.g. extensive security scanning on every PR, quality scans, adversarial reviews etc
