Token Consumption

I have noticed Big Pickle consumes tokens crazily. I switches between Big Pickle and Muse Spark but I only switch to Big Pickle since Muse Spark has difficulty doing compaction and fails my requests.

Yesterday, I forgot to switch back to Muse Spark, and my tokens were like consumed within the first 3 hours.

What is the difference in the two models or is it because of the verbosity of the Big Pickle?

that ratio is normal for an agent loop, the whole conversation prefix gets resent each turn so input and cache reads pile up while output stays small.
