Ridark(@ridark_eth):A 26-year-old makes $11,000 a month building AI agents on a model that costs him almost nothing. His setup is a "harness swap": -> Codex is the control system -> DeepSeek is the model 1 goal, typed once → Codex plans and executes it step by step → a local agent reads his files, keeps context, writes and runs the code → DeepSeek powers it all for a fraction of an OpenAI subscription. 3 ways he turns it into caps: > sell the config packs and system prompts as a paid guide > build MVPs and parsers for clients in a fraction of the usual time > drop the same AI agents into small businesses that can't afford OpenAI prices He doesn't ping a chatbot. He runs an autonomous coder on the cheapest model that works.
