Even without hacks, Copilot is still a cheap way to use Claude models:

- $10/month

- Copilot CLI for Claude Code type CLI, VS Code for GUI

- 300 requests (prompts) on Sonnet 4.5, 100 on Opus 4.6 (3x)

- One prompt only ever consumes one request, regardless of tokens used

- Agents auto plan tasks and create PRs

- "New Agent" in VS Code runs agent locally

- "New Cloud Agent" runs agent in the cloud (https://github.com/copilot/agents)

- Additional requests cost $0.04 each

And better than taking pills for the former, add hemp hearts or flax seeds to your cereal. One serving of hemp hearts has 10 grams of protein and 12 grams of Omegas 3 and 6. Flax seeds are lower in protein but an even better source of Omega 3 in particular.

Gas Town seems like a more confusing/expensive alternative to GitHub Copilot Agents. https://github.com/copilot/agents

Go to the URL, type what you want done, and a cloud Claude agent creates a PR. $10/month.
