Most people don't know this: Command Code's Go plan is $1/mo and 5 of its models are free. Input, output, cache read: $0. They don't touch the $10 credit pool, and they don't count toward the $3/5h, $6/week, or $10/month limits. When your paid models run out of credit, the free ones still work. As long as the sub hasn't lapsed, they keep going regardless. https://commandcode.ai/docs/plans/go

Cloud personal agents blew up this half of the year.

I put the "cloud computer" specs of xAI Grok Bot, OpenAI Dots, Meta Muse and Manus Cue side by side. Musk turned out to be the most generous of the four, and grok-bot's config isn't even close.

Gemini 4 Argon has to clear the US government's pre-release

review too. Google's own line: it's "actively engaged in the U.S. government's voluntary process for pre-release model access." For closed frontier models in the US, that review is the default now. GPT-6.1 Astra never even shipped over safety concerns. So is Gemini back at the front of the pack?

Claude appeal rejected.

Won't refund the subscription either. I'm half convinced the appeal email is itself phishing, because I'm pretty sure they log the IP. DHH came to Shenzhen recently and showed how he uses Claude Code over there. That's the safest way now, honestly: run Claude Code on an overseas machine, connect through Tailscale, never use it locally. So I need to rent an overseas box with a residential IP, and register and log into Claude there.

Sharing my current mobile only workflow.

Until late September it was the usual setup: parked in front of my laptop, terminal open, bossing pi around, fanning out subagents, then eyeballing diffs myself and filing the PR. Glued to the chair all day, every day. Late September I moved the whole thing to my phone, Hermes runs the show, pi takes the orders. My back is very grateful. Three weeks in, still no regrets. Stack: Hermes on flagship brains (gpt-6-astra / opus-5.5), pi on mid-tier (ds-v4.1-flash / sonnet / terra) with as few plugins as possible, the two talking over a2a. Hermes reads the issues, slices them into small tasks, spins up a worktree for each one, and dispatches a pi into it. When a pi finishes it pings Hermes, who decides: ship the PR or bounce it back for rework. I get back from a full day of being a tourist, or just wake up, and a dozen PRs are sitting there done. Pretty sweet. The catch is how black-box the whole thing is. My emotional arc has been a rerun of early vibe coding, except back then I at least read the diffs. Now even that goes to a flagship model. Boxes all the way down. If you don't have data anxiety, grok-bot and chatgpt-dot basically ship this out of the box, grok-cli and codex built in, native agent-to-agent comms. Downside: your code lives on their servers, everything's moderated, and one ban takes it all with it.
