What Fugaro's own jobs cost, and the commands that set the caps
Caps and costs
A cap is a ceiling on what a run may spend.

What a job costs
Fugaro's own runs, 2026-10-04 to 2026-10-19: 980 finished, model plus compute, an estimate. Every figure here was measured under the $10.00 per-run cap in force then; the cap is $5.00 since 2026-10-21.

Mostly DeepSeek through OpenRouter; a Claude model costs more. Not a quote: the caps below are the safety net.
