my opus 5 bill went from $200/month to $20 after moving one workflow to OpenHands - and now i finally understand why everyone is building agents instead of foundation models everyone is waiting for gpt 5.6, claude opus and the next benchmark. meanwhile OpenHands quietly turned those same models into something that actually finishes the work instead of just answering questions same opus 5. same gpt 5.6. different agent. suddenly one prompt becomes an hour-long workflow that writes code, debugs it, runs commands and keeps going until it's done frontier models are becoming interchangeable. if Anthropic ships the best model next month, great. if OpenAI wins the month after, also great. the agent gets better either way the companies fighting to own the model are making headlines. the companies building the layer above the model are quietly building products that survive every new release i stopped paying for dozens of long opus 5 sessions because the agent now does most of the work before i ever need another expensive prompt bookmark this before gpt 5.6 vs opus becomes the next internet war. the biggest opportunity quietly moved one layer above the model.
