DeepSeek Harness runs any provider's model, Claude Code only Claude's. The lock-in sits in plugins, hooks, sessions and config, and those do not move.

On Cursor's own benchmark, Opus 5.5 beats every Grok 4.7 setting for less, and Composer 2.5 is the cheap editor. Prices, plan burn and the break-even.

fast-jev-compaction prunes in a second, not 30. At its default threshold it keeps almost no tool results, and a scorer that always says no cuts as much.

The agent writes the film as code, headless Chromium captures each frame, FFmpeg encodes. LaunchVideo spends 100k tokens a film; a 14-agent reel cost $30.46.

Sonnet 5.5 costs half of Opus 5.5 per token, but cache reads cost $0.20 on both. Which model plans, which one edits, and what one metered run saves.

You can get Jev-style typed decisions from an ordinary LLM by forcing one output token and reading its logprobs. Where that matches Jev, and where it loses.
