Running AI agents on a separate always-on machine: flat-rate compute, free model tier, 5-minute setup
alexcovo_eth · x · 2026-10-10
A developer describes a split AI workflow: long-running research, drafting, and rendering jobs run on a separate always-on machine so his Mac stays free even with the lid closed. Heavy jobs ride on a flat-rate SuperGrok plan while routine tasks are delegated to free Nous models via a helper agent that dispatches work and checks results; the whole setup, including backups, is handled by the agent in under 5 minutes and reachable remotely via Telegram.
