Hermes and Pi Agent led on the average cost per task, while Claude Code cost about 3.7x as much as Pi:
- $0.39 Hermes Agent
- $0.40 Pi Agent
- $0.47 Codex
- $0.51 OpenCode
- $0.54 Kimi Code
- $1.47 Claude Code
The median cost tells the same story: $0.29 in Pi Agent and Hermes, $0.35 in OpenCode, $0.38 in Kimi Code, $0.39 in Codex and $0.72 in Claude Code, so the cost gap holds for a typical task and is not driven by a few expensive runs.
We calculated these costs using Kimi K3’s list prices: $3/1M input tokens, $0.30/1M cached input tokens, and $15/1M output tokens.

More people should use this spec for defining agents that ship with a project for the purpose of doing work on the project.

Someone asks, "At what point do you create multiple agents?"
Any time you have a task that can't be done within a single context window of your model, you should consider how you might be able to define agents to do a smaller portion of the work.

One of the most OP AI techniques I know of is:
Instead of asking AI to do X, ask it to make you a script to do X. Then you use the script to do the task instead of AI.
This idea is less intuitive for non-software people, but it's extremely useful and easier than it seems.

When I'm giving AI advice to non-technical people, I think one of the most important pieces of advice that can be given...is the opening line of this project:

This is why Haskell still has a lot of value in the world of agentic engineering that we are entering.

PoW and PoS are fundamentally different #consensus mechanisms, each with its own advantages.
Let's look at 3 reasons why builders should choose #PoW to build on.

"This record “deactivation” of 54 million tokens may have implications for asset prices and even network security."

At @kadena_io we put safety first by scaling Proof-of-Work. Liquidity crunches are a fact of life, building your security around liquidity is a house of cards.
The largest staked SOL token lost its peg as Solana traders and stakers digested the surprise implosion of FTX.

This is the same as getting mad at Microsoft for your video game being laggy on your PC when the game's devs didn't program the game to run on multiple CPUs/GPU. There will always be work on our part to make multi-chain apps easier to build, but it's more than doable today.
