What counts as an 'exchange'? Anthropic's 865K/day metric questioned
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-09-11
teortaxesTex questions Anthropic's "X exchanges observed" metric: if an exchange is a logged API request-response, 865K/day could reflect a <1000-person workload since heavy users alone generate thousands daily; if it's full conversations, the picture changes entirely. The thread ties into speculation that opus 4.8 will far outperform Astra.
