Cheap agent practice for your resume: DeepInfra + Ollama, and the debugging story is what interviewers want
my-coffee-where · reddit · 2026-09-26
A Reddit guide to building agent projects for your 2026 resume on a budget: run small models locally via Ollama/LM Studio for unlimited free reps on basics, and use per-token hosts like DeepInfra for open-weight flash-class models at cents per experiment with one key for the whole model zoo — no weekly rate walls. The key career point: interviewers ask what broke in your agent loop and how you traced it — tool call reliability, context overflow, retry logic. The model is just a string in your config.
