The Frugal Manifesto & FAQ
Everything you need to know about autonomous software development with zero subscription tax.
There is no catch and no hidden bill. Top inference providers (Google AI Studio, GroqCloud, Cerebras) offer generous free developer tiers with high rate limits (e.g. 15 requests per minute, 1,500 per day) to encourage adoption.
Traditional agent tools either force a $20–$200/mo subscription or burn expensive proprietary tokens indiscriminately. cheapoS uses prompt caching, change-scoped diffing, and intelligent model handoffs (e.g. Gemini 2.5 Flash for planning + Groq Llama 3.3 70B for review) so the entire development loop fits inside free quotas.
