Game dev uses AI squad, struggles with management and costs

A solo game developer has assembled a large team of AI agents, including multiple Claude models, ChatGPT, Kimi, DeepSeek, and Qwen, to assist in game development. The developer found that while some models like DeepSeek were efficient coders, others, particularly ChatGPT Astra, struggled with complex troubleshooting and orchestration, leading to increased costs and time spent managing the AIs rather than coding. The developer is seeking advice on optimizing this multi-agent setup for efficiency and cost-effectiveness, considering local models and a simpler management hierarchy. AI
