Agentic workloads are the most batch friendly, latency insensitive, geography insensitive, migration insensitive tokens that a big lab ever sells. In the ads business such inventory is called "remnant". The sausage is made of whatever is left over when the choice cuts have been removed.

This talking point from Anthropic that Claude Code sitting in a Ralph Loop is burning top sirloin interactive session tokens is bad faith hogwash and it only flies because most everyone who has run this shit at scale either already works there, sells them hardware, or hopes to be an acquisition target.

I'm none of those things, so I'm happy to tell you they're lying. I know, it's hard to swallow, but it turns out Altman and Amodei are occasionally full of shit.
