THE PANEL'S ANSWER
Guy CochranPANELIST

Feeding 35 million words of Office Hours transcripts to Claude; Claude suggested local models or batch API ($80–300) for cost efficiency; agentic features like 216 simultaneous agents demonstrate compute power at scale.

Summarised by AI from what the panel said. Watch the moment for the full answer.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

From the transcript.

Machine-transcribed, so it may contain errors. Every timestamp opens the episode at that second.

40:24all the bots have their own computer, so you could pull up the screen of the bot. It's pretty wild. So you could see what it's doing. And to watch these things just take off and go, especially if you send five things. And yesterday when I asked Claude to do this thing, it sent 216 agents off at once. So, I mean, that's the level of stuff that you can see when you have a lot of data in a big project.

40:49But yeah, I'm anxious to see what happens with this new release of Apple and all this on-device stuff because it's going to get exciting when every home has its own Mac Mini or whatever, and it has its own model on it. That's going to be cool because then ideally that cost is zero. You know, like we just download it and we just ask it stuff and it's all on-prem.

41:09So that would be cool. Something to look forward to. So I've only been using ChatGPT. I'm only paying 20 bucks a month. I feel weird saying that now, seeing you guys spend like $100, $200 a month. I just can't imagine spending that much on an AI. I'm sorry. Well, one thing, try doing this, Alexander. or try downloading the ChatGPT app on your Mac

41:31and then go into where it says Codex and then actually have it build something or do something agentic where it takes over your computer and you'll watch your tokens just burn. I haven't done that yet. Well, a lot of people don't realize that you could do it, but when you ask it to actually go through something and do something pretty hardcore, it's crazy.
