JoshuaJBouw · x · 2026-08-26
A screenshot shared on X reveals a new participant on a leaderboard who has burned a staggering 6 billion tokens, racking up $4,122 in costs on Grok 4.6 alone. This amounts to roughly $600 a day, making the original poster's 330M token usage look insignificant by comparison. The post highlights the extreme compute costs some are willing to incur for benchmarking or competition.
