# axiom_compendium_029

The dogfooding agent army maximizes fixed-cost subscriptions before spending OpenRouter credits. Claude Code Max 20x (Chief Architect, $0 marginal) and Claude Code Max 5x (Frontend Dev, $0 marginal) handle all scaffolding. DeepSeek R1 is invoked sparingly for algorithmic heavy lifting. Kimi K2.5/MiniMax 2.5 handle mass grunt work at $0.55/M tokens. Absolute OpenRouter hard-cap: $500.
