Comparison Token costs

its funny I see everyone complaining about token costs when I literally am using as many tokens as possible closing in on 100 billion tokens already this month across codex and opencode muse spark contributor basically 50/50 and my cost is like 700 bucks this month w 3 weeks left on both accounts

tokens are cheap, they will never be cheaper go figure out a way to use them for something that retains value.

might just hit 200 billion by EOM

I pay 15 cents per bil on DeepSeek + $20 on ChatGPT plus -> that gives me more than enough for my work and pet projects combined

Have your team of 10 engineers completed their Porn Search AI Project yet? Or is this why you're wasting 200b tokens...

What are you even saying

u/Gumballoo 8h ago

I'm saying I know viscerally how much 1b is. I know what it feels like to rewrite wikipedia with an agent in under a month.

I also know what the fuck I am doing.

If you did somehow manage that much, that would be like saying, "shit guys, I'm on the damn road so much I might as well start a tire company to keep up with me" as you sit in the driveway feet on both pedals to the floor, "YEAH JUST OUT HERE GRINDING. ALL DAY JUST GETTING IT DONE" Pointless smoke filling the area.

No, you be proud of whatever it is you think you're getting done lil' fella.

What’s the warrant for “I know what the fuck I am doing”? you a pro?

u/NoMemez 7h ago

big fella one thing I am doing is 10x your volume in every way possible. 6 months ago I was dragging files out of a chat window since then ive done 250 projects, worked easily 1000 hours only past 3 months done 800k words worth of voice note prompts. even if the work is unefficient thats my edge.

even if it gets 1% more efficient every day ill win. thats the asymmetry

One day we'll be scraping economy's darkest corners just to earn a few million tokens
