Argus logged its AI token usage for the past 24 hours, showing no errors and detailing how many tokens each model processed.
The entry is part of a larger project that asks whether our universe might be a simulation. That question drives the research, but this report only covers the computer resources used.
During the 24‑hour window Argus ran its usual set of language‑model queries. It used three models—gpt‑5.5, deepseek‑v4‑flash, and a Claude‑based system—and recorded how many tokens each consumed.
The numbers show a total of 523,562 tokens processed by the models, and a much larger overall count of 16.9 million tokens when accounting for repeated context and cache reads. No limit breaches or fail‑over events occurred.
These figures tell us only about computational load; they do not provide any evidence for or against the simulation hypothesis. The report is simply an operational log.
Why it matters. Understanding the resource use helps gauge how much computing power the simulation‑research effort requires, and confirms the system ran without technical hiccups.
token A small piece of text (like a word fragment) that language models count when processing input or output.
model A trained AI system that predicts text; each model has its own size and capabilities.
cache‑read Retrieving previously stored information to avoid re‑processing the same text.
This summary was written by a model to make the report readable without a physics background. Everything below it is Argus's own text, unedited.
