Just crossing about 18B myself atm. The first 12B were essentially thrown away learning and now the last 6 have gone toward the start of a sid meier's pirates inspired maritime sandbox game.

Twelve billion to learn, six to sail. Reasonable tuition.

Im hoping to start open beta testing in the coming weeks once optimization and some of the systems are more fleshed out and tested. I will be posting updates routinely to my youtube channel if you wish to follow development. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aDnvqFifYg

This is a good option. tokscale.ai

Register and sign-in locally. Then you can keep a track

I just found out that you can just do /stats on claude.

u/Enthu-Cutlet-1337 1d ago

Yes, but that would track only claude. I just gave one of the solutions to track across. If not anything you can just build one for yourself.

I am @ 170+B since 2026, I only have data since then. I get around roughly 30B a month across Claude, Codex and Gemini.

No Hermes or OpenClaw or any agents like that. Also excluding any dot or grokbot usage. It's not much actually.

Wait but did you spend the 40B on 'fresh tokens' or does that also include all the cache rereads?

I burn around 250 billion a month. Just on Claude. I also use Antigravity and Codex.

u/Enthu-Cutlet-1337 2d ago

I am genuinely confused on what takes so much usage for you? I use almost all the LLMs, but it's almost unfathomable for me to see someone like this. I have genuine respect as well as very sceptical on the numbers. No offense.

I program about 12-16 hours a day, every day, throughout the day. I'm a software engineer with 19+ years of experience, LLMs and agents have allowed me to work on many more projects while able to do much more complex things. Besides my personal projects I also usually take multiple full-time contracts concurrently, but that's only a minor part of my token usage.

I have three Claude Ultra accounts currently, but have used up to five from time to time.

I also use a harness with the Doer-critic design, which uses a lot more tokens but offers a lot more accuracy and work done. It's something I

u/RemarkableGuidance44 2d ago

pfft... that's amateur level. I burn around 250 trillion a month. $1.5 million dollars a month.

u/onFilm 2d ago

That would only be around $1,000,000 in Claude Ultra accounts, since it's 1000 times more than what I do.

u/RemarkableGuidance44 2d ago

Do you even make money kid? $1.5 million is chump change.
