The figures

72% — Mobile developers report 72% of AI-generated code fails initial verification on real devices, and frontend developers waste 45% of their time debugging visual inconsistencies that only appear in production. →
300 million tokens — One developer logged token consumption across the first three days of an agent-driven project in July 2026 and got a curve that says almost everything I think is worth saying about this technology: 300 million tokens on day one, about 200 million on day two, about 100 million on day three. →
3 weeks — Version your skills like software. treats AI skills as packages with rollback and permission control, which is the difference between a team that can undo a bad change and a team whose output quality quietly degrades because somebody edited a prompt in place 3 weeks ago. →
3 minutes — The numbers underneath that headline are the interesting part: 3 minutes for a deep market research pass, 1,800 designs produced in a month, 12 minutes from a customer request to a rendering, and orders signed on the spot while the buyer was still in the conversation. →
1% — The version of this I have seen bite hardest is on the payments side, where one developer’s Stripe account was frozen for a dispute rate above 1% and 1,500-plus paying subscriptions stopped at once. →

Did this answer it? A star on the repository is the whole ask — it is what puts these in front of the next person looking; the data is CC BY and does not require starring.

Want a figure that is not here yet? Say which metric, which provider, which unit — one required field, and the page you came from is already filled in.
