@rayyanzahidai shared mind-blowing stats on running Agent swarms across 30 machines:
- Token Budget: 50 BILLION tokens/month
- Smallest Agent: Runs lightweight at 2,000 tokens
- Largest Agent: Heavy lifter running 30M–40M tokens in a single context window
This reveals the actual scale of compute required for massive multi-agent orchestration.
