OFF-THE-RAILS COST

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

A 'wasted thread' is when a model starts spitting out tons of leaked thinking or repeating tokens. This usually means users have to abandon and revert the thread. 17.8% of all costs incurred by Gemini users in Amp were on 'wasted tokens'. This is more than 2x worse than Sonnet and almost 8x worse than Opus.
