approaching AI project prototyping when trying to keep costs as low as possible (or zero). With so many open tools and inference options available now, it feels like the barrier to building and experimenting has dropped significantly. Some workflows I’ve seen mentioned involve AI coding assistants, free inference layers, and decentralized git platforms for version control and collaboration. • What low-cost or zero-cost setups have you been using for rapid AI prototyping? • Have you combined AI agents with self-hosted or decentralized tools for your projects? • Any workflows that have worked particularly well for you recently? Would love to hear real experiences — what’s working, what’s not, and any tips for staying efficient without spending much. submitted by /u/amu4biz
