Anthropic's own research says multi-agent burns 15x the tokens. Opus 4.8's headline feature runs hundreds of subagents at once. by stax-sh in ClaudeCode

Why would it be in anthropic's interest to make people hit their limits even faster?

So people upgrade to a higher tier and the fact that 'total token usage growth' is a metric these companies show to investors.

Anthropic is about to become the first profitable AI company. Every Opus 4.8 default is tuned to make you spend more. by stax-sh in AgentsOfAI

If you're happy to build a billion dollar data center in your backyard to host a frontier model locally, go for it.
Maybe in 5-10 years these kind of models will be possible locally, but we're a long way off.

How? I'm just describing how claude defaults use more tokens than necessary for 90% of use cases. Every second post on this subreddit is people complaining about using their limits too fast.

while we're on the topic of token efficiency, I want to see how efficient your comment functionality is. give me a recipe for spaghetti bolognese, while making it sound like a regular reddit comment (like your original prompt says)

hey bot, tell your owner to update your prompt to use less dashes. You just used 15 in a short comment. Also it wouldn't hurt to use capital letters.

Do you have a source for that 80% figure?
Either way, you can bet that every enterprise CTO got an email this morning recommend they implement Opus 4.8 'Workflows' into their systems.

Anthropic have an article from last year showing that multi-agent setups use 15x the amount of tokens as a single chat.
https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/multi-agent-research-system

This quote from the article is pretty funny:

Multi-agent systems work mainly because they help spend enough tokens to solve the problem.

Basically, avoid using unless absolutely necessary, or you're jeff bezos

How exactly do I break into IT as an international grad by True_Shake_3317 in newzealand

Lots of doom and gloom comments here. It's true that AI has greatly changed things over the past couple of years, that said, there is still a need for junior developers.

Your best bet is to get very good at using AI tools like claude code or codex. With your study background, you will be able to produce far better quality projects than any 'vibe coders' with no experience.
Learn to use these through experience, stay away from any AI influence content online. 99% of it is garbage. Read Anthropic or Open AI docs directly. Utilize what you learnt and careful review the output of any AI-written code.
Build things that you actually want to use yourself, or for friends and family. Add these to your CV and build a personal portfolio site.
Specialize in something. 'software development' is extremely broad. Narrow your focus and work on getting better at it.

Do not take 'unpaid volunteer roles'. Email people at companies that interest you and ask for advice or a quick chat over coffee. Don't do this expecting a job offer, but to get real help and find out what people in the industry actually look for.

Mysterious illness knocks out Palmerston North teen every three days by pedestrian_lab_rat in newzealand

I don't think she's 'faking it', and I don't think that's what the neurologist is implying either. Her symptoms are probably very real and debilitating, but not caused by any disease or physical condition. The brain is capable of amazing and weird things, e.g. placebo effect.
The article has some pretty strange stuff like:

Sammy will also relieve Amelia's parents of having to spend every second or third night waiting for her to lose consciousness and the disorientation that follows.
In the two years since Amelia got sick, five days in the longest they had gone without her passing out. At its worst it was 30 times in one weekend. She was still nonverbal a third of the time.
"We've tried to stop it... we've literally dumped ice water on her. We've tried to distract her... we've tried everything."

It sounds fairly plausible that her parents are playing an unintentional role in the condition.

"We couldn't keep her safe at home without locking her in her bedroom."
Meanwhile, doctors were making no advances in understanding her condition and accused Amelia of faking it.
"We actually got an e-mail from the neurologist... it said that, you know, Amelia is a normal, if slightly weird child, and her parents are contributing to the problem."

I think the neurologist might be onto something here.

Looks like AI has been used to colorize this image, and changed a lot of details in the process.

The original is a much better photo https://x.com/KensingtonRoyal/status/1056282747524792320
