AI Burn Clock – the cost of agents reading whole files

AI · Industry · 2026-09-09 09:36:00

AI Burn Clock prices the habit of AI agents reading up to 47 times more than they use, applying the price to published budgets from organisations and governments. It shows three steps to end it. Users pick a published budget or type their own, and the result applies the same three factors as the world scenario. Public disclosures are linked to sources. The cost has one cause and one cure: retrieval-first, where a local index answers "where is it" first so the agent reads only the passage.
