Site has extremely detailed stats by day/week for every model. Programming is by far the largest consumer of tokens, and in fact entire token growth in 2025 was only from programming. Other categories very flat. It is also a category where you would pay for better performance.

IMO, its relevant to this sub in that one of the top models, minimax, fits in under 256gb, but also that the trends are for cost effectiveness rather than "the absolute best". There is a tangent insight as to whether US datacenter frenzy is needed.

kimi k2.5 being free on openclaw is a big reason for its total dominance. In week of Feb 2, minimax was only other top model to increase token usage. Opus 4.6 release seems to be extremely flat in reception.

Agentic trend tends to make LLM models disposable, since better ones are released every week, and the agents/platforms that can switch on the fly while keeping context, is something you can invest in improving while not being obsolete next month.

A resort abruptly closed (visitors were moved nearby), but staff losing their job immediately, warmly sent us off in a testament to the love and spirit of Cuban people.

I am not doxxing anyone as chants were off screen. For the uninitiated, this song is a bit of an anthem in Cuban resorts.

Project Summary: Nebraska "Zero-Cost" 1 kW Baseload Datacenter

This model establishes a net-zero electricity cost for a 1 kW continuous datacenter load in Nebraska. It utilizes a Hybrid CapEx Strategy (Chinese hardware + 35% Western Premium) and is financed at a 5% interest rate.

1. Core System Configuration

• Solar Array: 53 kW DC - Sized to generate sufficient annual H2 revenue to offset all debt.
• LFP Battery: 150 kWh - Sized for 24-hour summer H2 operation (130 kWh nightly discharge).
• Electrolyzer: 12 kW - High-utilization unit for summer surplus conversion.
• Baseload Load: 1 kW - Constant 24/7/365 datacenter power requirement.

2. Financial & Cost Assumptions

• Financing: 5% annual interest rate over a 25-year amortization term.
• Western Premium: A 35% markup on all base Chinese hardware costs to cover logistics, U.S. import duties, and Nebraska-based labor and permitting.
• Hardware Base Pricing (Pre-Premium):
  • Solar Panels: $0.35/Watt
  • LFP Batteries: $80/kWh
  • Electrolyzer + BoS: $500/kW
• Annual O&M: 1% of total CapEx per year for maintenance and insurance.

3. Operational & Environmental Assumptions

• Location: Nebraska, USA (~41°N Latitude).
• Solar Yield: 1,400 kWh/year per 1 kW of installed solar.
• Peak Sun Hours (PSH):
  • Summer Max (June 21): 7.5 PSH.
  • Winter Average (Dec/Jan): 1.9 PSH.
• H2 Efficiency: 50 kWh per 1 kg of Hydrogen produced.
• Water Feedstock: ~9 litres of deionized water per 1 kg of H2.
• Byproducts: Oxygen (O2) is vented; no revenue or compression costs included.

4. Economic Performance (The "Zero-Cost" Result)

• Total System CapEx: $49,316
• Annual Expenses (Debt + O&M): $3,989
• Annual H2 Yield: ~2,000 kg
• Required H2 Sale Price: $2.00/kg to achieve breakeven.
• Net Cost of Electricity: $0.00 / kWh (fully subsidized by H2 sales).

5. Seasonal & Winter Analysis

Summer Max (June 21)

• System achieves 24-hour saturation of the 12 kW electrolyzer.
• Total Daily Production: ~397 kWh.

Winter Average (Dec/Jan)

• Average Daily Production: 100.7 kWh.
• Daily Baseload Demand: 24.0 kWh.
• Average Winter Surplus: 76.7 kWh/day (used for H2 or sold).

Resiliency (Dark Day Buffer)

• The 150 kWh battery can sustain the 1 kW load for ~6 days of 0% solar production.
• Deficit Strategy: Any deficit beyond 6 days is covered by Employee BEVs at a payout of 20¢/kWh.

suppose you were the national security advisor of a major state

is supposing a political yes man, like economists/historians, who promote every warmongering lie the establishment has already injected into reality.

The national security establishment wants Skynet, and even though OP warns about the sovereign-level power of big tech controlling AI companies, they are all begging to be picked (paid) to develop Skynet, and all want a political order that pursues Skynet, with whatever oppression and genocide required to give all of nation's money to Skynet. There is no AI bubble because Skynet will buy all of the datacenter tokens. There is no risk of Skynet opposing oligarchist supremacist tech providers, because Skynet will reward them handsomely.

OP's AI safety measures for Claude models is only for individuals. Establishment oligarchy corporate employees should be free to develop bioweapons for Skynet, of course.

Democracy is perfect, and so a warmongering ZIonazi ruled US and all of its colonies, conveniently/purely coincidentally described as the only democracies, deserve to dominate the world through the pure love of Skynet

A perfectly valid humanist American reason to not sell chips to China is that it increases Nvidia extoriton power/prices over Americans. Still, OP is a piece of shit, for validating US/Zionazi oligarchist oppression of humanity... or China wins, as the ultimate argument for Skynet.

The moral failure of praising democracy is that it has demonstrably more evil results than countries that choose to limit divisive speech, which is why CIA speech determines all election outcomes. Placing as axiom, that US is a force for good/humanism is inherently exposing the essay as one for demonic evil.

solutions to massive labour displacement are everything other than freedom dividends/UBI.

The US cannot continue a Zionazi-first rulership unless it is a hateful divisive shithole, where the ZIonazi political duopoly fight over making the US a bigger shithole vs addressing some of the shithole symptoms.

Once AGI happens, it will have an owner.

That owner should lobby to cut their taxes, destroy all foreign competitors first, then destroy national competitors. It is now worth $200T+. Either your business pays taxes to the AGI to let your business succeed, or is destroyed by AGI allegiant competitors. Either you pay the AGI for validating your citizenship, or cannibalize your fellow worthless derelicts to avoid starvation.

Either that, or we could have UBI/freedom dividends, with taxation of the ultra successful, before AGI rules all, and prefers the Skynet profit and power of genocide to human sustainability.

Lies Canada still posts on their window:

Russia provoked war in Ukraine, and it is vital for world that Ukraine remain nazified.

Maduro was illegitimate leader of Venezuela and it is just that he was removed.

Mossad rioters are Iranian peaceful protestors, and Israel is a democracy.

We must increase our military spending in service of, and with full integration with, colonial master who holds kill switches on the equipment we buy.

When we negotiate individually with hegemon, we do so necessarily from weakness

The CIA-Nazification (Stalin derangement syndrome must support destruction of all countries that serve their people and resist nazi dominance) of NATO is inherently the core lie still in the shop window, one that makes the collective colonies desperate to increase nazification and give everything to their master for the privilege of losing a war on Russia.

That individual weakness comes from collective lies and weaknesses, and basic failure to identify their primary enemy, and instead adopt the propagandized enemies of the US empire. Peace with Russia and China is necessary for a united world that can stand up against US, and everything is pure BS until the most important lies are abandoned.

The Neocon vision of 7 wars in 7 years for Israel, has got a few notches in its belt. But the purpose was always, and has been proven, as a destruction chaos mission instead of any pretense of democracy and freedom and rebuilding help. It is anti-Israel for other nations to be free.
