1.7B tokens burned through

1.7B tokens burned through My laptop hasn't closed in a week. Multiple worktrees, multiple subagents running at once, 1.7B tokens burned through. I've been building desktop apps, and manual testing on a real machine is a chore. So here's my fully automated setup. I made a subagent called qa. For each small goal I open a worktree and describe it with the /goal slash command, then append: "when the goal is done, have reviewer check the code, have qa drive the mouse to run end-to-end verification, and fix any bugs until every acceptance check passes." The agent works alone in its worktree: research, plan, execute, code review, real-device check. It runs for hours with no one watching. And if the agent runs in a VM, this machine stays free for me to do other things. I also wrote a pi extension that plays a three-note chime the moment a worktree's goal passes acceptance and ships. Install: pi install npm:pi-done-sound

opencode go now has Muse-Spark-1.2-Contributor, and it's the

model with the biggest quota in the plan. One catch: your data gets sent to Meta for training. Company projects? Risky. I used it for a few days after DeepSeek's price hike. It gets the job done, but it's still a notch below the top tier.

Command code added GPT-5.6-Sol to the GOAT plan for $70/mo

. Billing's still at full price though — $5 in, $30 out. Openrouter has the same model at half off right now.

I stuffed an agent into an Android phone.

You've probably run into those short videos lately where an agent drives a phone around by itself. This one is called Mika, and it's a free open-source project. It's an Android app that works in the background through accessibility mode, so it can use pretty much any other app you have installed. Reply to someone on WeChat, scroll Xiaohongshu, drop something in a cart and check out. It finds the buttons by looking at the screen. There's no API to wire up, and it doesn't care what resolution your phone is. When it reaches a payment step or a captcha it stops and lets you finish. 🔗 github.com/wangzan101/Mika

My product went profitable, and something in me broke.

Someone on Xiaohongshu posted a while back that she sells phone keyboard skins she made with Codex. Eight, ten yuan a pack. Over a thousand a month. I've been at mine for months. October: a few hundred copies, $1,200 gross. Platform fee 30%, tax 10%, so 60% should have landed. It came to just over a thousand dollars. I still don't know how the math pulled that off. I have an overseas bank account. Once lost $500 to a wire transfer off one. I'd still tell you to take payout through WorldFirst: less hassle, lower fees. You can also get a Hong Kong USD credit card tied to it that spends your WorldFirst balance directly. Digital card is free. Physical is $4. Mainland purchases under ¥200 skip the processing fee, and right now there's 1% cashback.
