Ask HN: What is your AI harness that lets you switch LLM models easily? 2 by hbarka | 0 comments on Hacker News. Looks like we are at the end of the Fable-level model at subscription pricing.

Ask HN: What metrics do you track when building agents? 2 by rstagi | 0 comments on Hacker News. The main metric I look at is inference cost, which is a pretty good indicator when something's off.

This already seems like a red-flag and if needed I will not install any software or visit any sites beyond payroll. How should I handle this situation if they refuse to provide me equipment. This is a in-person role.
