# ⚙️ Configuration & Workspace Setup

## Recommended Model Configuration
- For optimal performance in a stateless loop, use **Opus 4.1** or **Gemini Flash 2.5**. Fast, cheap, and highly capable reasoning models are required to prevent API bankruptcy during the loop.
- Try to switch to set model both for this session and for sub-agents and warn if this fails.
- Model: `Opus-4.1`
