Researcher shannonzshen shared an agent session managed with CLM that has been running for almost a month: 474M tokens uploaded, 4.8M downloaded, at a cost of $5,856.32 — prompting the question of whether we overpay agents or underpay humans.
The author also released the pi-clm harness (installable via pi install npm:@lolipopshock/pi-clm) for keeping long-running agent sessions in daily work, and is soliciting feedback.
