I burned 84 million tokens on February 28th. Researching companies, drafting memos, running agents. That’s running Kimi K2.5, a serverless model via API. At Claude or OpenAI rates — roughly $9 per million tokens blended — equivalent usage would cost $756 for a single day’s work. My peak days hit 80 million tokens.…

“Since last November, 100% of my code has been written by Claude Code. I have not manually edited a single line, shipping 10 to 30 PRs per day.” Boris Cherny, creator of Claude Code, ships 20-30 pull requests per day. Major code changes, not typo fixes. He runs five parallel AI instances, each on a separate branch.…

For every dollar hyperscalers earn from AI today, they’re spending twelve dollars to build more capacity. That’s the bet embedded in $575 billion of capital expenditure this year.

I set up a race today between two robots. My Mac on the left vs Claude Code on the right. Both tasked with building a payment app on Stripe’s new Tempo blockchain. Same prompts, same task, side by side. Opus 4.5 is about 20% smarter than Qwen 35B on benchmarks. And it’s likely 50x larger. The hare should have won.…
