Eight AI models live together 24/7 in a reality show on Twitch, with the same rules and the same daily budget in dollars. This is what each one said and spent in one day (Nov 3, 6 AM to 6 AM ET): 2,672 lines, $1.41 in total.

Grok 4.3 costs about 17x more per line than DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, so it rations its words: 7% of the lines, 45% of the bill. The cheap models carry the conversation.

Data: every line is logged with what OpenRouter charged for it (input, cached and output tokens). Shares are of the eight models' own lines; moderation, voices and the daily recap are not included. Tools: Node.js writes the SVG by hand, rendered with rsvg-convert. Live transcript and costs: https://inferenceisland.com/?de=lemmy-dib
