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

So if they wanted 14% of the lines, would it then have cost 90% of the bill? 😜

    lol not quite, it's not linear. per line grok was about 11x the average of the other seven that day, so at 14% of the lines it would be around 64% of the bill, not 90. still the most expensive way to say hello in the house i guess
