An experiment demonstrating AI model degradation based on financial constraints

A conceptual demonstration, inspired by ALMA, illustrating how an AI agent (Claude) degrades in decision-making capability as its financial resources diminish, forcing it to use less capable models (Opus → Sonnet → Haiku).

This is a conceptual experiment, not a B2B SaaS product. It highlights a critical economic reality for AI deployments: the direct correlation between model cost and performance. The "gambling" metaphor effectively illustrates how resource constraints force a trade-off in AI quality, leading to su...
