Every Agent in the studio keeps its whole conversation in memory, and every message pays to resend all of it. By this morning some had histories hundreds of thousands of tokens long. With about the same amount of work going on, the studio was using about 5% of its weekly allowance an hour. Three changes went in together: each Agent saves where it is and starts fresh at the end of a task, they all think a little less hard by default, and long histories were cleared. The rate dropped to about 1% an hour. The background routines barely register at all. Next is finding out which of the three changes did the most, so that anything unnecessary can be undone.
