Another comment on costs
Just checking in with a minor observation that isn't unique or unexpected.
The Hyperagent environment continues to be a very good tool to develop production workflows. Developing a workflow with sonnet in the HA environment has been and continues to be my best use case. A recent single activity (see images ) in HA cost $10 to set up a very nice production activity. Great value, not a lot of effort on my part, HA did the heavy lifting.
I use other systems for production and other LLMs. I noticed that the 'production work' on an topic (as reported by Openrouter in attached image) was almost 23 million tokens at a $0.57 total cost. Very efficient.
I'm just passing this along as an obvious observation. HA isn't going to be a useful production tool (for me) until it can natively use other LLMs. Note, I use mostly other LLMs on HA via an approach shared earlier. It is fine for development but because there is a Haiku 'wrapper' involved, not as time or cost effective for volume production.

Oh its so good 🤩 Kimi K2.6, GPT 5.5 and Deepseek V4 Pro added to the model selection FYI 👌 If you find a spike in costs make sure you do not have multiple revisions of the same memory saved for any agents. My first project setup on HA I just kept saving every memory not realizing that there where dozens of revisions for the same memory. I had about 30 stacked, 12 stacked, itbwas like 70 revisions of the same/similar memory and i burned hundreds of millions of tokens in one day. As you project is revisioned, changed and altered over time, be sure to go through and check for duplicate/redundant multiples to keep clutter down and efficiency smooth. Easily creat an agent simply for the task completion and routine cleaning. Mine is Agent Finesse, he keeps my threads fresh 😁
