How to Build an Autonomous Agent That Pays for Its Own GPU Inference Autonomous agents are getting smarter. They can browse the web, write code, plan tasks, and call external APIs. But there's a gap that almost nobody talks about: agents can't pay for their own compute. Run a LangChain agent on a free API tier and it works fine - until it hits rate limits, needs a GPU-heavy model, or has to run inference on your private data. Then what? You either pre-fund an account (centralised, manual) or the agent breaks. Neither is great if you're building something truly autonomous.
