- Why are they admitting? - They're not admitting, they're bragging.

So he seems to be counting on tokens per watt per user going down but not accounting for the fact that they are currently highly subsidized by investment capital.

I don’t understand stand “tokens”, cause why are business using Claude Cowork instead of like a private ai machine. I would assume a private ai machine using like OpenAI wouldn’t use tokens.

Essentially it looks like his company is a hiring platform and they have built AI agents that do the interviews and candidates have to do assessments and then match you with opportunities on the platform, they don’t salary anyone because they probably don’t have enough revenue lmao, it’s a web app using a couple of agents to do recruitment and placement work, like an Indeed run by ai agents

wait until these AI companies need to monetize and your tokenmaxxing costs you 100x employee headcount

Do they use the data from the interviews for people they don’t hire?

When your AI agents have a higher salary than your engineering team. 🤯 This is exactly why we built Synapse OS (synapseui.dev). If you aren’t running token audits on your nested agent loops, your infrastructure bill will eat your margins by Friday. You can’t manage what you don’t audit. 💀💸

Couldn’t you just hire more people to be more productive. Regardless im curious if what the ROI on all these tokens

there is always a limit, once you get the knowledge or see the outcome then you may nolonger need AI and instead need people. there could come a point where if you dont employ then you get boycotted

And soon out of business. But the competition already has a market by replacing them.

Built exactly what he's describing as a platform that allows anybody to find the best model for any given task. It's called evalry.

All of this based on an idea they will eventually create an ai smart enough to fully do a job

I assume they are spending on tokens via API on a variety of models, so there’s no lock in, and riding herd on those by simply monitoring usage. Increasingly open source models sip token costs compared to frontier leading models like Claude. You can run a Hermes agent or a multi agent plane on much cheaper models effectively. I’m running a Hermes agent and over the last two weeks I’ve spent about $3 total. Now granted I’m not asking to do a lot yet, but you can see that even if I do I’ll be spending maybe $30-50 a month for a lot of tasks done by this one agent - and the open source models continue to close the gap on the expensive proprietary ones, probably one reason Altman and Amodei wanted to get their IPO’s done.
