Optimize your AI tokenomics. Scale signalmaxxing out of tokenmaxxing without tripling token per watts or risking hardware-driven model latency.

## Commentary

The debate is tokenmaxxing vs. signalmaxxing. Val agrees with both sides, then reframes the distinction. For every token you generated yesterday, you need a second for quality and a third for security — that’s 3× tokens, non-negotiable. But you don’t have 3× the power, 3× the budget, or any latency to give. So the move is getting signalmaxxing OUT of tokenmaxxing.
