lil behind-the-scenes eggery on /nova's WaifuCast;

WaifuCasts are genned with a pipeline of AI agents working in tandem, with Claude-Sonnet-3.5 and a fine-tuned SDXL being the final models hit. Each agent I wrote had around 7000 chars of system prompting to get the exact output desired (a LOT of trial and error here).

So, gigantic prompts + lots of transformed data - meaning our Claude-3.5 endpoint alone has already handled 35 million tokens of input. 

That's about 277 tokens per second; and doesn't include SDXL, or any standalone/small models hit BEFORE heading off to Claude. It also doesn't include the massive data retrieval/storage done via @neynar.

Anthropic actually cut our compute off temporarily because we went way over their accepted limits on daily token input (within 2 hours); awesome team tho, got us de-limited fast after I explained we were just waifu-izing an entire social network.

The FC community probably broke some records on this one. Absolutely crazy amount of compute processed.

Just finished the new Gotham War(Batman) graphic novel and working on Echo Burning by Lee Child(Jack Reacher series)

I read Joan Didion’s essay Holy Water. It was short and sweet, displaying her reverence for the control of water and implicitly contrasting Californian bureaucratic control of water with divine control. Hard to characterize in a cast.
