i now spend 2-3 hours per day reading research papers and building something with goose that i didn't think it capable of doing. i never see a line of code, and never trapped in an IDE.

it works nearly every time, but does requires some nudging every now and then. incredible.

all open source, model independent, full autonomy. use it or fork it today: https://block.github.io/goose/

I got curious and tried out the tool because you can use it with a custom provider. After a little bit of testing it seems to work well, but holy does using it burn through tokens fast. With just a few queries asking it about a repo to test it out, nothing even requiring it to write, compile, or test code I burned through 50 cents using Sonnet 4.

I could easily burn through a minimum of $20 in a day.

I'll probably have to stick with Aider for now. I still like reading the patches the LLM is applying and keeping myself more in the loop.

Yeah Claude code is also expensive as fuck

No kidding, what I didn’t realize when I gave it a go is that it’s not just an agent calling tools in the background, it’s actually an agent calling agents calling tools. One agent instance can start to get a little pricy, but trying to use an agent firing up other agents all day gets really expensive.

I do wonder tho how much of the design decisions are driven by the fact that the more you use their API, the more money Anthropic makes.
