Agent recut video still covers face with subtitles; plus KV cache as agents' hidden cost
altryne · x · 2026-09-12
A poster shares their agent's fail: explicitly told that subtitles cover Chris's face, it recut and re-exported the video — and still published the wrong cut ("AGI is not yet here"). The quoted tweet covers KV cache as the hidden cost of agents: DeepSeek's compression path down to 890 bytes per token keeps more context hot without burning GPU, and cache hits vs misses make up most of the bill.
