And then the question is, well, where does the revenue come from?
Where is the point at which people start to spend more and more?
And one thing I would say from just looking at the exponential view bills, our bills have gone up since Opus 4.5 came out.
Okay, because everyone is coding more.
We're running many more background processes that are chewing through tokens.
And I thought that was all true until I installed my open claw bot.
Actually, it was called, what was it called?
Clawed initially.
And I've called mine Mini Arnold in homage to the second Terminator that came back to protect us.
But Mini Arnold is a greedy, and forgive my French, mofo.
He will chew through $20 to $30 of tokens a day.
So we're talking five grand a year in order to do my bits and pieces.

I do the heartbeat on a local LLM so that every 30 minutes I'm not having to pay for that.
It is expensive.
Now, what drove that?
What drove that was the idea that the models were just good enough.
They crossed that uncanny valley.
