Radically Better Reasoning: Elicit's Andreas Stuhlmüller & Jungwon Byun on World Models for Research
"Taking myself as an example, I spend maybe $2,000 or so per week on tokens. And it could, maybe I could like double it or triple it, I don't know., but not much more than that for sure."
Andreas Stuhlmüller revealed he personally spends approximately $2000 weekly on AI tokens via API access, using elaborate automation for planning, calendar management, email archiving, and cross-checking answers across multiple models. This spending level approaches the magnitude of engineering salaries and represents an upper limit for individual AI usage before cost constraints become binding.
