Cost Optimization Tips
No spending needed. OpenRouter free models require no billing. Just add your OPENROUTER_API_KEY.
Think intervals are already optimized. Agent Lab is now set to ~111 cycles/hr (down from ~303/hr). The agents still think autonomously, just less frantically. This makes $5 last ~7 days at 4hr/day use.
Agent Neo scanner is free. DexScreener and GoPlus are both public APIs with no key required. Scanning for token opportunities costs $0. Only the Neo chat replies use the API.
All AI Chat uses free models. The /ai-chat page uses OpenRouter free models. No cost concerns.
OpenRouter free models require no billing. Just add your OPENROUTER_API_KEY.
