Self-hosting coding agents on open-weight models takes more than a model. Hardware tiers, concurrency and the harness shape the bill, and one point release raised costs by a factor of 5.

Asked directly, every model caught the wrong label. Asked for a site note, they repeated it. This dev tests what models do when a published label contradicts its own data.
