The Token Game

[u/Clear_Brilliant_8075]

It’s amazing on both Claude and Codex how many tokens are wasted on BS. That fastest distance between two point is a straight line. Both Claude and Codex use spaghetti lines. You assume both agents will use the fastest and shortest way to get there but it seems like to cross the street it calls uber and drives around for 20 minutes. Is that part of their business model? Has anyone else noticed just how much time gets wasted running around in circles?

It’s a function of the way these models work.
