I Use AI 100 Times Per Hour

Tunguz documents his personal AI usage patterns, finding he invokes AI approximately 100 times per hour across dictation, coding, and analysis tasks. He presents a cost-benefit analysis comparing Claude Opus 4.5 versus Sonnet 4.5, demonstrating that model selection significantly impacts both cost efficiency (86% savings) and performance (36% faster execution). The article argues for a hybrid AI strategy that uses cheaper models for routine tasks while reserving expensive models for complex analysis.
