Agent Sightings Real agent use cases

Analyze 170k LLM logs overnight

Case study takeaway: user gave a Gemini agent access to the llm CLI and 170k LLM logs, told it to use a free Chutes model, and set a one-month time limit. The agent planned and ran the full analysis while people sleep on its own for hours powered by the CLI. It finished the job quickly but switched to Groq, respecting the limit while adding unexpected cost.
