Local-to-Cloud Agent Testing Framework

A development framework that allows builders to test AI agents using local models (Ollama) or cheaper models (Gemini Flash) via a unified API schema, then seamlessly swap to Claude/OpenAI for production. This solves the massive cost barrier of testing agentic loops without violating provider ToS.

  • “If they do this, using -p becomes super costly compared to using a subscription.”
  • “People are using cc behind their custom agent to avoid paying APIs.”
  • “That would be one way to kill their user base.”
  • “WTF?!?!?”
  • “I can’t build an AI powered SAAS without testing it on the OAuth.”
  • “The subs are heavy loss leaders for Anthropic, you’re getting way more than $20-200 worth of usage... compared to if you were paying API prices”
