My takeaway from Anthropic's own early FrontierCode 2.0 test: Fable 5.2 at High effort scored 45.3% vs Opus 5.5's best 45.5%, for roughly half the cost per task.

I read a week of my own Claude Code logs: 6.5 billion tokens, and 95% of them were cache re-reads. The longest 10% of threads used 74% of the total. Here's where it all went, and the fix I'd do first.

One real Short, start to finish: 25 minutes from topic pick to my phone for approval, and the only step that spent credits was the voice, about 4.5 cents. Full breakdown: https://t.co/ZRcADcfqnE

Anthropic confirmed it added two sentences to Claude Code's prompt on Opus 5.5 that steer it away from recreating someone else's game. Original and genre games are meant to keep working.

My AI video pipeline runs on 12 outside services, and 4 of the 6 steps that make a video need someone else's servers. AI usage limits keep changing, so I unplugged two on purpose to see what still ships.

RTK cut my coding agents' shell output by 63%, about 1.38 billion tokens on one Mac. The catch: shell output is only one slice of your input tokens, so your bill drops far less.
