For anthropic internal use it means more revenue not less.

Too often, LLMs are dressed up for the first day of kindergarten and performatively to show off their alphabet skills .. aka token generation..

Input tokens, slightly process to categorize response approach token, hidden processing tokens, piece together some of the response tokens, then feeling pretty good about all the work done before output tokens.

More tokens than needed = more words/code = more complexity = more overhead = more snags = too much complexity to pay attention for the LLM to so overlook it and start drifting.

I'm kind of surprised I just explained one form of LLM drift to myself in a sentence.
