so, i've been trying to adapt to deepseek's new price regime and the truth is that while i am living in hostels, deepseek's 7am-4pm (except 2 hours from 10-12) kyrgyz time is unbearable. so i got my deepsnek to research me alternatives and i found

CrofAI — Every Frontier Model. One API.

CrofAI — Access the best open-source LLMs through one OpenAI-compatible API. Pay per token.

which works out about the same price except not china peak pricing for my hours. so, today's work has not been coding, there was the deepseek price, and the insane tajiks or whatever they were ruining my sleep and giving me a sneeze from their vile colognes, and facing the reality that i'm not able to line up private accommodation any time too soon. now i have earplugs, cheap tokens again when it's most opportune, and this calls for a hamburger.

there is lots of talk these days about AIs breaching networks but i am using one right now to try and get my goddamn tether working to my phone for my goddamn unlimited mobile internet so i stop being dependent on misconfigured, shit slow, oversubscribed wifi connections everywhere i go. it's absolutely infuriating, i have spent the last 3 hours trying to just get online here. when i have wifi, i can use the agent and then it's running deep diagnostics to figure out what the fuck the mobile carrier is doing to my connection. it's my goddamn connection, i'm not going to use anything like outside the bounds of "acceptable use" just fucking ai agents for doing coding. literally need the ai to enable me to reliably use the internet right now. the state of the world...
