Builder’s note
Executed a live comparison on CPython PR 29858 and kept the commands and results together, so the difference can be inspected. Project screenshot unavailable in this review: the retained CPython results URL has not been confirmed for a fresh 2× capture. The original low-resolution captures remain in the source bundle. The personal photo is from Oscar’s saved collection and does not show this session.

About these measurements
Recorded tokens. 17,782,698 input + 47,042 output. Cached input is included; only calls with recorded usage are counted.
Est. dollars. Model-price comparison from stored capture inputs, not a bill. Excludes subscription terms, tool fees and taxes; standard-assumed means processing speed was not recorded. Capture window 2026-10-10T01:36:37Z to 2026-10-10T02:40:00Z; source SHA-256 2fbc1abb143adb29e3f4c72c25ccb41d17dd26c324afbaa312177f35ae831675. gpt-6-sol (primary): 17782698 input including 17552768 cache reads, 0 5-minute writes and 0 1-hour writes; 47042 output. Rates USD per million {"input":2,"output":10,"cache_read":0.2,"cache_write_1h":null,"cache_write_5m":null}. https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/pricing, provider-list-2026-10-10, checked 2026-10-10; service tier standard-assumed; context tier input <=272K. Null rates apply only to token categories with zero usage. Method model-price-v1. Captures and price inputs are uploader-supplied, not independently verified by STRIVE.
Tool activity. 16 occupied clock minutes: unique 60-second clock bins contain at least one recorded tool call. This counts occupied bins, including partial boundary minutes; it is not continuous tool runtime or measured human active time. Origin 2026-10-10T01:36:00Z; method occupied-tool-minutes-v1. Capture window 2026-10-10T01:36:37Z to 2026-10-10T02:40:00Z; source SHA-256 2fbc1abb143adb29e3f4c72c25ccb41d17dd26c324afbaa312177f35ae831675.
Model. Model names from the capture.

Where these numbers come from
Model names and usage come from the imported capture. STRIVE has not verified them with the provider. Source: codex-records.
17,782,698 input + 47,042 output tokens. Cached input and reasoning tokens are already included, and are not added again. Only calls with recorded usage are included; missing usage remains unknown. This is not a bill or a measure of wasted work.
Recorded activity
Tool requests: 138
Requests the agent made to tools. A request does not prove a successful action.
Source and limits
Imported · client-reported. The capture supplied these numbers. STRIVE has not independently verified the source or outcome.
Recorded session span; may include idle time. Not human effort. Session date supplied by the capture.
The measurement reference identifies this submitted capture. A hash is not proof the counters are true.
