Reid Hoffman says he does the 'max subscription' across AI agents. That would cost at least $650 a month.

"I simply do the max subscription across all of them and frequently when I'm doing something I've actually already put on running - and now it's the Open AI open-source model on my laptop to front end to parsing it out to multiple agents,"

"Run it on ChatGPT, run it on Copilot, run it on Gemini, run it on Claude, and then integrating what comes back on anything that is kind of more substantive,"

"My first prompt is, 'Give me the deep research prompt that will solve these or target these kinds of things.' And then, so I write in a paragraph or speak in a paragraph, then it comes back with a page and a half, then I edit it, and then I submit it. And that's the prompt that I'm beginning to drive and work off of."

Reid Hoffman pays for maximum subscriptions across multiple AI platforms and routinely runs the same work through several models. He uses an open-source model on his laptop alongside cloud-based offerings and aggregates outputs from services like ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Claude. He lacks a dedicated personal cloud or special hardware access and instead relies on broad subscriptions. He follows an iterative prompting workflow: request a deep research prompt, provide a paragraph of context, refine the returned one-and-a-half-page prompt, then submit the edited prompt to drive further analysis. He uses AI daily for deep research and question formulation.
