🍿 Meme of the Period
Tokens burned out, limits ran dry, the loop is still spinning — meanwhile the model got swapped so smoothly that nobody even noticed.
🎲 Attention Check
Which of these did we make up?
- Tiel-Coder 35B hits 125 tokens/s on an RTX 4070 Ti SUPER: agent config
- How a neural network works in plain words: tokens, context, and hallucinations
- Claude Code Leaks 16% of Tokens on the Status Line: How to Turn It Off
- The API got a "five more minutes" mode for endless generation
Answer: "The API got a 'five more minutes' mode for endless generation" — that one was fake. The rest are real news from the archive.
💬 Debate Starters
- Should tokens spent count as a product metric on par with build time?
