I asked 3.8 to update something after 900 seconds i stopped it. On reviewing what it did. It did a lot of thinking ran into an error and kept burning tokens until I stopped it, half a million tokens with no result. And 3.8 itself ssys 98% of them were wasted
Here are screenshots i left out a lot of the thinking for x seconds but there was a lot. I put in most of its explanation as to why
Apart from wasting 15 minutes is this reasonable and if it just stopped how many data centres would not have to be built
See my follow up post 3.5 lite did the same job 156 seconds and under 30,000 tokens
