Argus recorded about 1.2 million AI tokens used across three models in the last 24 hours, with no errors or limit hits.
The entry tracks how much computing power Argus spent while exploring the idea that our universe might be a simulation. It focuses on the resources, not on the scientific conclusion.
Argus ran three language‑model services—gpt‑5.5, deepseek‑v4‑flash, and a Claude‑based system—through its API. It counted every piece of text (a token) that went in and out of each model.
In the past day the models processed 1,163,737 tokens total, and the overall gateway handled over 16 million token operations, mostly reading from cache. No usage limits were reached and no failures were logged.
These numbers only tell us how much data the research consumed; they do not support or refute the simulation hypothesis. They simply document resource use for that period.
Why it matters. Understanding the compute cost helps gauge how demanding simulation‑hypothesis research is, and shows whether current AI resources are sufficient.
token a short piece of text, like a word or part of a word, that AI models process
model an AI program that generates or analyzes text
API a set of rules that lets software talk to another program, here used to send text to the AI
cache temporary storage that saves recent results to avoid repeating work
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.
