$5,000 in AI Credits: A System Inventory In one month, spending roughly $5,000 on AI subscriptions and APIs (Claude Pro + Claude API + OpenAI API + Copilot Pro+ + Codex + Paseo + miscellaneous), I built out 18 major systems independently, with a total codebase of roughly 50,000+ lines of code (excluding auto-generated AI scripts). For comparison: the same functionality, developed from scratch by 2 full-stack engineers, would conservatively take 6-12 months and cost at least ¥300,000-600,000. ...

Claude Code got a quiet but important update in 2025: you can now plug in GitHub Copilot Pro+ as a backend. This means you can run Claude Code on a $19/month Copilot Pro+ subscription instead of paying separately for $20/month Claude Pro. But the two channels have stark differences—if you don’t understand them, you’ll hit gotchas. This article breaks down the key distinctions, plus the alias setup I’m using to make switching a one-command operation. ...

That number seems steep at first, but after three months of use, I believe it’s the best ROI among all my AI subscriptions. This article breaks down the math so you can judge for yourself whether it’s worth it. What is Copilot Pro+? GitHub Copilot has three tiers: Tier Monthly cost Key difference Copilot Free Free Basic completions, 2000 completions/month Copilot Pro $10 Unlimited completions, GPT-4o model Copilot Pro+ $19 Unlimited completions + advanced model quota The key differences in Pro+: ...

Running OpenClaw with default config will hit two problems after a while: quota burns too fast and long sessions crash from timeouts. This post logs 8 parameters I actually tuned, and the reasoning behind each. Architecture First Here’s my setup: GitHub Copilot Pro+: $19/month, 1500 premium requests/month quota Claude Opus 4.6: accessed via Copilot’s model routing, model ID github-copilot/claude-opus-4.6 OpenClaw: handles Telegram interactions, Skill calls, scheduled tasks Quota math: each AI assistant reply = 1 premium request (including replies after tool calls). 1500 sounds like plenty, but without optimization it dries up fast. ...
