Hey PH! 👋
Happy to answer anything about how it works under the hood.
One thing I'm genuinely curious about how are you currently handling LLM cost control in your agents? Billing alerts? Hard limits on the provider side? Nothing yet?
I built baar-core because I couldn't find anything that worked *before* the API call. Would love to know if others hit the same wall or solved it differently.
