10,000 Agents, $14,000, and a Quarter of Security Research in a Weekend
There is a number that should reorganize how you think about security budgets: a couple of days, ten thousand concurrent agents turned loose on an entire monorepo, and $14,000 in tokens — and out the other end, “several quarters worth of security research.” That framing comes from a recent conversation on Naval’s AI Industrial Revolution episode, and it’s the seed for this post. But the claim is no longer a thought experiment you have to take on faith. The receipts are now public, and they’re worth reading closely — both for what they prove and for where they quietly fall apart.
