Boris Cherny, the dude who invented Claude Code, says it's all about the loops now. Some people are having a difficult time with this reality because they built their kingdoms on that principle.

A 79-inch robot just started patrolling the grocery aisle and most people walked right past it without thinking twice. It's called Tally. Kroger is running it in about 70 stores right now across Ohio and Indiana. It scans shelves multiple times a day, identifies what's low or out of stock, and sends action alerts directly to staff through a mobile app. No clipboard. No manual count. No end-of-shift inventory report. The data collection is automated. What's left for humans is interpretation and response. That's the shift showing up everywhere right now. AI takes the task that required a human body or a human hour. What remains is judgment, speed of action, and the ability to use the output. If you're an entrepreneur and you're still doing the "Tally" version of tasks in your own business, that's the thing to look at this week. What are you collecting, counting, or tracking manually that a system could be handling while you focus on what actually moves the business?

One look at these numbers and you'll see just what a good affordable model this is. 40-60% less token usage than Opus 4.8
