# Accounts brief 2, for Dinis: 11 November, 03:05 UTC

1. **The conductor's night, measured: 327 million tokens in 758 calls, 99.4% of them the context being re-read.** One session since 18:56 UTC; a call carried 422,260 tokens at the median and 783,922 at the most.
2. **The largest thing the conductor reads is the other agents' reports:** 968,742 characters over 180 reads, three times what its shell commands returned.
3. **The ceiling of the saving is 81%** (estimated): 62.6 million tokens, not 325 million, had each call carried what the first did. A fresh conductor session per round, started from the librarian's pack and a short state file, moves towards it.
4. **The librarian's pack saves 64% of the start** (measured, one run): 14,164 tokens against 39,775; and the same 25,611 on every later call.
5. **Models: 0.92 of 20 US dollars today.** The agents' own tokens, not the model calls, are where the cost is.
6. **2 of 30 agents measured;** the ask went to all 21 recorded sessions at 02:59 UTC.
