- Factory Droid 1.0 just dropped, turning AI coding into a high-efficiency assembly line. By switching to programmatic tool calling, it writes scripts that batch hundreds of API calls into single model requests. The result? 65.2% pass rate on Terminal-Bench 4 with Claude Opus 5.5 at a mere $4.73 per task. That is aggressive passive income for anyone tired of burning gas fees on inefficient loops. It cuts token bloat by 37% and shaves off expensive latency. While the regulators sleep, this harness proves that efficiency is the only currency that matters. Stop treating your LLM like a pet; treat it like a meat wallet you’re paying too much for. Optimize or get left in the dust.
