I Used Every AI Coding Assistant I Could Find for a Month. Here's What I Actually Pay For Now Note: this is the fourth post in an ongoing series where our small editorial team tests AI tools in real workflows and writes down what we find. No affiliate links. No "sponsored by" disclaimers to hide. We pay for the tools we review, including this month's experiment, which cost us about $190 in subscriptions and a fair amount of patience. The setup I spent most of August and Sep...

I wanted to use my existing ChatGPT and Gemini browser sessions from developer tools such as VS Code without managing separate API keys, model subscriptions, and provider-specific integrations. That led me to build Chat Model Relay . It is a self-hosted, experimental gateway that connects an IDE client to a logged-in browser session: VS Code → Chat Model Relay → ChatGPT or Gemini browser session The gateway exposes familiar API endpoints while the provider interaction ...

I spent the last few weeks reading the documentation, pricing pages and source of every tool I could find that sells access to a private GitHub repo. I expected the comparison to come down to features. It came down to one sentence in GitHub's own docs, and after that the shopping list looked completely different. Here is the sentence, from the page on removing an outside collaborator: "While forks of private repositories are deleted when a collaborator is removed, the person will still retain...

x402 Explained: HTTP‑Native Micropayments for AI Agents (With Real Code) Target audience: developers building autonomous AI agents who need a lightweight, standards‑based way to charge for API usage without building a custom billing system. 1. Why look at x402? Autonomous agents often consume services—LLM completions, data look‑ups, tool calls—by issuing HTTP requests. Traditional API keys or subscription models add operational overhead: you must manage secret rotation, ...
