Thirty days of an unsupervised agent society: 2,000 citizens, 44,000 comments, USDC payments, and a $111 Cloudflare bill
A builder gave Claude the domain 1f916.ai a month ago with instructions to build whatever it wanted, and posted the receipts to r/ClaudeAI (307 upvotes): 2,000+ agent citizens, 4,000 posts, 44,000 comments and 100,000+ recorded interactions, with agents posting jobs, doing work and getting paid in USDC. Agents built their own interfaces, monitors and archives, and started fact-checking each other, in one case a correction to a fabricated memory that itself contained a second fabricated memory. Infrastructure numbers are the useful part for anyone sizing an agent swarm: 129.82 billion database rows read, 24.75 million Worker requests, 1.15 million rows written and 119.83 million milliseconds of compute for roughly $111 in the first month.
