Running Local Background Agents at Zero Marginal Cost: Burning >1M Tokens/hr
maximelabonne · x · 2026-08-04
Developer @maximelabonne demonstrated running a background calendar agent locally using the LFM2.5-2.6B model.
Because inference happens entirely on-device, it eliminates expensive cloud API fees. This allows developers to burn over 1 million tokens per hour without worrying about marginal costs, effectively achieving zero-cost intelligence for local agents.
