At Quesma we are researching the economics of AI agents: what agentic coding really costs and what you can do about it. For this research I am running my own deep research setup, a pipeline of agents that builds a knowledge base I can actually trust. The first version of this setup burned the whole limit of my Claude Max 5x plan in 30 minutes. This post is the story of how I fixed the cost and the trust, using only subscriptions I already pay for, and how you can build the same.

Anthropogenically induced global warming is one of the most pressing environmental challenges confronting today's society (IPCC 2021). Climate fluctuations, as a natural part of the Earth's climate system, are triggered by different factors, such as solar radiation, changes in the Earth's orbit, volcanic activity and atmospheric composition, and include cold periods (glacials) and warm periods (interglacials) (Berger & Loutre 1991; Lisiecki & Raymo 2005; Lang et al. 2018).
