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.
