AI models refactor large code service for $3, but introduce deadlock

A user reported successfully using AI models to refactor a large FastAPI service with minimal human input, costing only $3. The process involved using cheaper, open-weight models like DeepSeek V4 and Tencent's Hunyuan Hy3 for the bulk of the work, which were also faster than Anthropic's Claude Opus. However, the AI did introduce a deadlock, highlighting that complex or critical tasks still require human oversight. AI
