- Antigravity (AGY - Google Ultra $100/month), mostly gemeni flash but I benchmark Gemini Astra sometimes. My main driver because it’s pretty good at search compared to setting something up with DSH.

- DeepSeekHarness (DSH) Desktop using:

—- with pay as you go DeepSeek tokens, more expensive to use during my night/Chinese daytime, otherwise very cheap

—- oMLX on my MacBook driving mostly a Qwen 3.6 35b A3b MOE (mostly used for benchmarking a less capable model)

I mostly do custom subagent programming and can trigger subagents in AGY and DSH easily enough. DSH supports a Python coordinator orchestrating DSH subagents as conversations via RPC. AGY only supports a sub-agent orchestrating other sub-agents but it works well enough at this point. I plan on releasing my subagent framework soon (called autofab in pypi), which is basically a specification driven code development agent system (using existing agent harnesses rather than implementing my own).

I tried goose, OpenClaw, Claude, codex, etc…and they didn’t really work for what I needed. I might get a $100/month ChatGPT subscription to go with my Google one, primarily to get a different perspective and benchmark openAI models on codex (Claude doesn’t really support what I need it to, otherwise would go for that instead).
