彼得·斯坦伯格创建了开源AI代理OpenClaw，现就职于OpenAI。他估计自己上个月在AI代币上的支出约为1000万美元。他周三在旧金山举行的Cloudflare Connect大会上发表上述言论，该报道由托马斯·克拉本为The.撰写。代币是AI公司用于对模型读取和撰写的文本收费的单位。
Peter Steinberger created the open-source AI agent OpenClaw and now works at OpenAI. He estimates he spent about $10M on AI tokens last month. He said so on stage at Cloudflare’s Connect conference in San Francisco on Wednesday, Thomas Claburn reported for The. Tokens are the units AI companies use to charge for the text a model reads and writes.
斯坦伯格与Cloudflare首席技术官丹·克内赫共同参加了一场关于AI代理的会议。克内赫指出，斯坦伯格曾表示自己在代币方面拥有几乎无限的预算。
Steinberger was in a session on AI agents with Cloudflare’s chief technology officer, Dane Knecht. Knecht noted that Steinberger has said he has an almost unlimited budget for tokens.
“几乎无限的代币预算，而我们在座的并非所有人都有，”克内赫说。据The.报道，听众对此感到惊讶。> “人们并不总是明白，其中并非全部都有用，”斯坦伯格说。
“A virtually unlimited token budget, which not all of us in the room have,” Knecht said. The audience reacted with surprise, according to The. > “What people don’t always understand is not all of that is useful,” Steinberger said.
埃森哲将员工使用Claude的支出上限限定为每月29美元。与此同时，OpenAI据报道正竭力在Anthropic首次公开募股前完成一笔300亿美元的融资轮次。
Accenture caps its staff’s Claude spending at $29 a month. OpenAI, meanwhile, is reportedly racing to close a $30bn funding round before Anthropic’s IPO.
云端代理，代理审查代理 斯坦伯格表示，许多人面临的主要问题是基础设施尚未跟上。
Agents in the cloud, agents checking agents Steinberger said the main problem for many people is that infrastructure has not caught up yet.
“为什么这还在使用我的电脑？难道这一切都不应该在云端吗？”他说。
“Like why is this still using my computer? Shouldn’t this all be in the cloud?” he said.
英伟达上周推出的新款RTX Spark笔记本电脑，旨在本地运行AI代理。
Nvidia’s new RTX Spark laptops, launched last week, are built to run AI agents locally.
克内赫询问人们应如何决定向代理提供哪些数据。斯坦伯格表示，这部分取决于模型本身。模型的许多行为并非来自包裹它的代码，他说。即使提示词注入等风险得到降低，他也不会给予代理所有权限。
Knecht asked how people should decide what data to give an agent. Steinberger said it depends partly on the model itself. Much of a model’s behaviour does not come from the code that wraps it, he said. Even with risks such as prompt injection reduced, he would not give an agent every permission.
“你希望有另一个代理来决定是否授予它权限，然后这个代理必须与另一个代理进行谈判，”他说。
“You want to have another agent that can give it permissions or not and then this agent has to negotiate with another agent,” he said.
他说，代理往往会退让，或在护栏范围内找到更简单的路径。这两个系统合在一起，让他更愿意让代理独立工作。
He said the agents often back down or find a simpler route within the guardrails. Together, the two systems make him far more willing to let the agent work alone.
施泰因伯格此前提到过一项代币法案。他于2月加入OpenAI。当时他在一篇博客文章中写道，OpenClaw将转移至基金会并保持开源。他此后多次谈及自己的代币使用情况。
A token bill he has talked about before Steinberger joined OpenAI in February. In a blog post at the time, he wrote that OpenClaw would move to a foundation and stay open source. He has spoken about his token use since.
“去年我受限于代币。现在我通过加入OpenAI解决了这个问题，”他在6月于旧金山举办的一个智能体工程聚会上表示。
“Last year I was constrained by token. Now I fixed that by joining OpenAI,” he told an agentic engineering meetup in San Francisco in June.
在8月Y Combinator的创业学校活动上，有人问他AI智能体何时能全天候运行并自主工作。他说限制在于成本，因为很少有人愿意花费那么多代币。
At Y Combinator’s Startup School in August, he was asked when AI agents will run all the time and work on their own. He said the limit is cost, because few people are willing to spend that many tokens.
“这不那么像是一个技术问题。这更像是一个代币问题，”他说。
“That’s not so much a tech problem. It’s more a token problem,” he said.
开源与未来 克内赫提到了开源维护者不再接受AI编写代码的沮丧情绪。施泰因伯格表示，这一过程应该改变，因为贡献者很少解释他们是如何写出代码的。
Open source and the future Knecht raised the frustration of open-source maintainers who have stopped accepting AI-written code. Steinberger said the process should change, because contributors rarely explain how they reached their code.
“如果我能看到你的想法，你是如何从A到达B的，我对输出结果的信任会高得多，”他说。
“If I see your thoughts, how you got from A to B, my trust in the output is way higher,” he said.
他还怀疑几年后每个人是否会运行数百个智能体。他预计每个人都会拥有一个帮助他们度过一天的智能体，甚至可能预测他们的需求。Meta表示，其Muse智能体看起来像OpenClaw，因为它就是那样构建的。
He also doubts that everyone will run hundreds of agents in a few years. He expects each person to have one intelligence that helps them through the day and may even predict what they need. Meta has said its Muse agent looks like OpenClaw because it was built that way.
