ZTA: Zero Token Architecture
summary
Argues that zero token architecture means infer once, export and run without inference: use an LLM or agent a single time to generate code or a pipeline, then turn that artifact into a library or cron job that runs on a normal CPU. Cites messy agent fleets (claims of 15,000 agents), surprise billing like $2,000/month, and repeated expensive LM calls that recreate DB tables and CI/CD loops. Predicts migration from continuous token burn to one-time inference and exported artifacts, with many cost optimizers and failures along the way.
