Agentmaxxing works if you own the intelligence it creates Agentic coding consumes up to 1,200× more tokens per task than chat because agents repeatedly reconstruct the context needed to complete their workflows. Retaining the reasoning, code, and decisions produced by each

Context eats up over 80% of agentic tokens Multi-step AI workflows consume ~1,000x more tokens than chat, and most of this consumption occurs pre-generation through retrieval, state management, and context assembly.

Inference is a commodity; retained work isn’t Two organizations can run the same models and spend the same amount on AI, yet only one accumulates and owns the intelligence created by its AI workflows.

2/ Every model execution incurs an inference cost. Retaining the work produced by each model execution allows future workflows to retrieve accumulated organizational intelligence rather than recomputing it. Over time, inference becomes interchangeable while organizational

Identical coding tasks require dramatically different inference budgets Recent benchmarking on SWE-bench Verified found that average token consumption varied by more than 1.5M tokens across leading models completing the same tasks.

2/ The economics change quickly in production. A model that requires substantially more tokens to complete the same work consumes more compute, generates longer execution traces, and increases infrastructure costs every time the workflow runs. Across millions of requests, small

The Tokenmaxxing Paradox: more code = more human review @StackOverflow's survey of 30k developers found that over 60% refine their AI-generated outputs, while nearly half spend significant time debugging them. The bottleneck shifted from writing code to validating it.

2/ Verification is expensive because enterprises rarely retain the results of verification. The same error patterns are reviewed repeatedly, the same mistakes are corrected repeatedly, and the same decisions are re-evaluated repeatedly. Enterprises that retain validated work

Did Claude Code create the first tokenmaxxing workforce? In less than a year, Claude Code references grew to 135K+ GitHub commits per day. Meanwhile, the @FT reports that companies like Uber and Cisco are grappling with the costs of scaling AI usage across their workforce.

2/ AI introduces marginal costs into knowledge work. > Every additional analysis, investigation, recommendation, or code review consumes compute. > At scale, the economics increasingly favors organizations that retain and reuse the intelligence generated by their AI workflows.

1/ Every interaction between humans, agents, and models leaves behind a record of how an organization operates. Decisions, evaluations, outcomes, and workflows encode expertise, judgment, and results; over time, this record becomes organizational intelligence.

2/ Two companies can deploy the same frontier model and compound knowledge at different rates. One converts interactions into organizational learning, the other does not: > Expertise becomes reusable infra > Decisions become training signals that improve future workflows >

As we keep accelerating on AI, I expect us heading through a series of "DeepSeek" moments, where rather than improving exponentially the intelligence of the model forever, we will demolish the denominator (costs) and gets the improvement in terms of both efficiency and

Tokenmaxxing is easy when you're getting started. Modeled @chaoslabs AI usage at scale and saw a projected $150M/yr in spend. While I knew what it would cost, I had no real visibility into its impact, efficiency, and value. Sharing our journey on measuring AI spend ROI.

1/ Identical AI outputs conceal entirely different workflows Equivalent outputs often rely on a wide range of data sources, assumptions, permissions, and tool actions, each carrying a distinct risk profile.

2/ Organizations will increasingly need to determine which AI outputs warrant action. As AI-generated work scales, how an output was derived will carry as much weight as the output itself. Without this visibility, each output will require independent validation, and every
