How I built a zero-cost coding-agent fleet using MiMo Pro delegates, OpenRouter free-tier lanes, and the mystery Ox Alpha model that turned out to be GLM-5.3-Flash — now wired into Fugu and T3.

A field note on five things you are actually choosing when you pick an AI coding harness — stack layers instead of benchmarks, attention cost instead of feel.
DeepSeek's latest public API release is V4 Flash 0731. Here is what changed, how its V4 Pro sibling compares with GLM-5.2 and Kimi K3, and why the benchmark chart needs a cost-and-harness warning label.
I rebuilt my Fugu/Fusion coding harness around the models that are actually available: GPT-5.6 Sol conducts, Fugu executes through bounded specialist lanes, and a three-model remote Fusion panel reviews important work before the conductor decides.
Today's Pulse Pro focus is Lab routes: prove the composition-spike path, crosscheck gates, and keep parked engine-eval rows from becoming false P0 work.
A repo-truth-first Pulse Pro briefing for the rotated Composition-spike renderer focus: prove the PixiJS/Corsair composition spine and owner-GPU frame budget before new renderer stages.
