Every AI token spent building this platform, priced at the project rate.
Cache reads dominate: every turn replays the conversation so far, and cached history is re-read on each request. Under a flat per-token rate that replay is what the bill is made of.

Honest accounting of what these numbers cover.
≈ 4,084,132,686 tokens for the whole project, 2 Jun → 7 Aug 2026
The measured figure above is real data read from Saorin session transcripts. Those transcripts are kept for 30 days, so every session from 2 Jun – 3 Jul 2026 has already been deleted — and that was the busiest stretch of the build, 194 of the project's 264 commits.
The estimate scales the measured rate of 15,470,199 tokens per commit (1,082,913,970 tokens over 70 commits) across the 194 unmeasured ones. It assumes the deleted month cost the same per commit as the measured one, which is an assumption, not a record. Treat $108,291.40 as the number with evidence behind it.
