<p>Saw Simon Willison's post from earlier: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49949235">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49949235</a><p>This seemed relevant because it has budget caps. It also has per-user/model controls and usage attribution for teams/enterprises.<p>I've been exploring it for the past few days with their community edition. They also have a paid variant which uses OSS models from their infrastructure.</p>

<p>This is an awesome idea. I use agents all the time that way, so am not thrilled by potential consequences, but I love the idea from the platfroms' perspective.</p>

<p>I use models.dev's CLI tool, which I think gets data from OpenRouter, and ArtificialAnalysis so your coding agent can help you narrow it down.<p><sidenote><p>Similarly, HuggingFace has a CLI + a few skills, and they are very useful.<p>I had a production image processing using Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite (which is getting discontinued in October), and in 20 minutes Claude Code + HF Cli recommended the best replacement small model (Qwen VL 3B something) and proceeded to fine tune it on my datataset. All this while I was in a rush to get dressed and go to the store.<p>It cost ~$3 I think, and results were excellent. Not perfect, but not far from perfect either.<p>We didn't replace Gemini in prod at the time, because we didn't have time to do all the math on how to end up with a smaller bill/mo.<p></sidenote></p>

<p>I tell the agent to outline the greebling, which is the when you add extra details that aren't really necessary.<p>Initially it feels like the result will be too empty, but once the greebling is removed it most often looks better</p>

<p>I don't have specifics since it's been months, but LiteLLM on a hetzner server, deployed through Coolify was using 1-4 GB (cannot exactly, and dont know why either).<p>Bifrost feels very light, though.<p>Will try LiteLLM if it's in Rust.<p>Would also appreciate a slicker aesthetic. I got used to Bifrost shadcn with 0 border radius.</p>

<p>Holy shit I had no idea there was a YouTube series, nor that he had a YT channel.<p>And a recent video is about designing a dashboard with Ai, which is exactly what I been needing from him specifically.<p>I remember reading the book 6 years ago and I loved how easy it was to understand.<p>It's also where I first learned about dense UI and was amazed at a before/after example of one. You can clearly see that uncommon common sense he has about UI/UX.<p>Thanks for mentioning this.</p>

<p>Also ArtificialAnalysis drop older foundational models to make room for new ones.<p>If you customize the filter to add Gemini 3.1 Pro you'll see it ranks 5th in AA-Omniscince Index. Yet by default you wont see Gemini 3.1 Pro.<p>I find this to be very unhelpful and confusing.</p>

<p>You can use a cheap model in another pane, and ask it what Claude said.<p>I prefer this since everyone has their own preference for how the output should sound and it's very simple and transparent. And you can easily ask follow-ups.<p>It can be via tmux, or herdr, because it can read the pane.<p>Or it can use a hook to read the conversation file. I call it `backseat-driver`<p>I sometimes use it as a proxy when fable genuinely does a good job, but is too difficult to understand.<p>I let the translator know it's role and anything I say it should forward with better context.<p>I don't swear at it anymore, but I'd often say "just do it, retard", and the translator would actually steer it in a useful manner.</p>
