burhop · x · 2026-09-16
- User burhop says agents now run faster than his token budget allows; ChatGPT 20x pro's resets help, but he could spend $1,000-$10,000/month on focused tokens.
- He predicts heavy users will pay $200/month for Astra/fable 7 only if needed, sending the rest to DeepSeek 6 for cost efficiency.
- "The next year is going to be so weird."
