Hi, I only have a RuPay card, and both OpenRouter and OpenAI reject it with "This card type isn't accepted." Gemini now requires prepaid credits in my region. Is there a hackathon API key, sponsored credits, or another recommended provider that participants with RuPay cards can use?

Hi! I have a quick question regarding the submission. Are we allowed to include a voice-over narration in our demo video to explain the project and workflow, or is the submission expected to be screen recording only?
Thank you!

Hey guys! I’ve been testing out Archestra for a week. The main things I want to get working is to provide shared/curated skills with the rest of my team and provide them a way to share internal vibe-coded apps (I understand the feature is still in beta, I have some feedback that I’d love to share!). While testing some skills, in particular skills involving creating some HTML assets, I noticed that my agent uses archestra__run_command to write files. Problem with that is that I always hit a Error: command is too large (> 16384 bytes) error, and it forces the agent to unreliably find workarounds (once it tried rewriting the HTML file in small splits, forcing the content to be rewritten in small pages and links between them, another time it just zipped everything). I got the same when working with Apps, even more brutally given that, well, it’s all about apps. Is my agent misconfigured or is this a current limitation of Archestra?

hey .. actually I got another issue .. after stopping the record and saving the prompt and so on when I try to download it it just says it will be exported once it's ready and you download it but nothing got out to be saved on my device and when I try to submit the thing it says sign in to github and once I press it another screen shows that I didn't define the prompt or whatever even tho that I chose the chat messages about the prompt and cut the recording to 30 secs ... is that normal and is it happening with all or I'm missing smth ?

Hi! I'm blocked by what appears to be an Archestra issue.
In a fresh session, even sending "Hello" fails with:
context_too_long
Groq reports ~40,000 requested tokens despite the prompt being only a few characters.
Example:
Request too large for model llama-3.1-8b-instant. Requested 40280 tokens.
Has anyone seen this before or is there a way to clear/reset the app context?

When starting a conversation with a model like Gemini, for example, can't I switch to another one, like OpenAI's?

Hi everyone! I’m trying to submit my Archestra Apps Hackathon app, but the “Sign in with GitHub” button in the submission flow isn’t working when I click it. Has anyone faced this issue or knows how to fix it?

Hi @user Archestra is returning my prompt with description rather than building. Any special button to override

Hey
I'm getting this error on Groq even in a brand-new chat with a one-line prompt:
Request too large. Limit: 8000, Requested: 38458
It seems the system prompt + attached tools (GitHub, Playwright, etc.) exceed the model's context limit before my prompt is added.
Is this a known issue? Is there a way to reduce the tools sent per request or disable unused ones?
Also, I've already tried Gemini, OpenRouter, Cerebras, and ChatGPT. Are there any other free providers/models you recommend that work well with Archestra and tool-heavy workflows?

if I have a ChatGPT Plus/Codex subscription or a Claude Pro/Max subscription, is there any way to use those models inside Archestra without paying separately for API tokens, or do I need to use API keys for Anthropic/OpenAI?
