7M tokens in one day? My record is 3 Billion. So I guess it depends on the projects you are doing for how useful this is. Maybe one day...

I mean I full source bootstrap deterministic operating systems for secure enclaves from zero. And by from zero, I mean from 180 bytes of human reviewable hex machine code all the way up to a llvm/rust/musl toolchain, custom rust init system, job manager, and a full cryptographic remote attestation stack. Also recently custom bootstrap compilers.

Truly I am not aware of many more complex problems in systems engineering than these, which is why I love working on them, though every new line written is exactly what I would have typed myself when I use LLMs. I mostly use LLMS to help me debug and surgically -delete- dead code and deps to get to results small enough to review in full.

And ~20M tokens a day results in about the max output I can keep up with and carefully review at key checkpoints.

My assumption is the fact my tokens are not unlimited and have ratcheted up one GPU at a time it has caused me to stay much more connected to every line written, but also I am a security engineer working on tech that cannot fail and must be reviewed by a minimum of two humans.

For someone working on video games, I imagine a more lax move fast and break things approach to LLMs might make more sense.

I cannot even comprehend what kind of project could possibly need 3B tokens in a day and still produce results a human could actually hope to review, but do share because I am curious!
