Running Claude Code on DeepSeek for chores: one job costs $0.0043
PrajwalTomar_ · x · 2026-11-05
The author shares a two-track agent workflow: with the same folders and setup, a second Claude Code command runs on DeepSeek for routine jobs — a test task cost just $0.0043 — saving expensive Opus usage for work that actually matters.
Another trick: an agent that scans the creators and AI labs he follows, pulls what's actually working and writes a brief for about 55 cents a run, keeping him informed without an hour of doomscrolling on X.
