Bro, you better show something that $1MM worth of engineers' couldn't do or this might be the advertising for the beginning of the frontier lab bubble bursting. That is also subsidized pricing, holy. If it was the actual cost, it would be much higher

Peter Steinberger @steipete
I can disable fast mode and it's 70% cheaper. So it's more like one employee.

Alex Lieberman @businessbarista
Would be fascinating to back into how many engineers worth of production code you’ve shipped and what the cost of that would be vs the $1.3 million in tokens.

Peter Steinberger @steipete
disable fast mode and my spend is less than what one engineer costs, and it definitely helps wayyy more.

Sócrates @SocratesTuitero
$1.3?/month and you shipped nothing. You are the worst marketer ever.

Peter Steinberger @steipete
idk man you seem to have a very particular definition of nothing xD

Jaradln @Jarad01335244
Only Mac?

Peter Steinberger @steipete
The cli also works on Linux!

Ivan Osipov @_osipov_
The most part of spendings is OpenClaw development or something else significant?

Peter Steinberger @steipete
Yes most is around OpenClaw.

Iulian Lita @iulianlita
$1.3m/month. Anything useful created yet?

Peter Steinberger @steipete
Other than millions of people enjoying OpenClaw? Yeah.

Jarjar @jarjar_26
@steipete As one of the most prominent open-source developers right now (and probably in history), why do you choose to use and build tools for a completely proprietary desktop environment?🤔

Peter Steinberger @steipete
Almost all my tools are cross-plattform. Even CodexBar includes a cross-platform cli + server.

Leon @LeonKuzmin_
Why does the About screen shows twitter and not X?

Peter Steinberger @steipete
I still call it Twitter. Choices.
