Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

aaai-author-response scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AAAI Author Response

Use this after AAAI reviews are released. AAAI rebuttal space is scarce: the AAAI-26 FAQ allowed a single 2500-character response, disallowed URLs, and discouraged new results. AAAI-27 has not yet published its own rebuttal FAQ — its author feedback window is 2026-10-19 to 10-25 — so treat those limits as the prior cycle's shape and reopen the current FAQ before drafting.

Triage

  • Respond to decision-critical factual errors first.
  • Address human reviews and AI-generated review points when they affect the SPC/AC decision.
  • Do not spend space on tone, score fairness, or reviewer motivation.
  • Do not include URLs if current rules forbid them.
  • Do not introduce new experiments or results. Explain existing evidence, clarify omissions, or state why requested experiments are not needed.
  • If supplementary files were missing or corrupted, acknowledge the limitation; AAAI has not permitted updates at rebuttal time, and the supplementary deadline (2026-07-31 for AAAI-27) closed months before feedback opens.

What moves an AAAI score

Author feedback at AAAI is read by human reviewers and weighed in SPC/AC discussion, not by the non-decisional AI review. With one short response and no second round, spend every character on the concern most likely to flip a borderline decision. Triage each reviewer point into a lane:

  • Factual error that, if uncorrected, sinks the paper: answer first, cite the submitted anchor.
  • Misread of an existing result: clarify and point to the table, theorem, or appendix line.
  • Request for a new experiment: explain why submitted evidence covers it, or scope the claim.
  • Taste or framing complaint: usually skip; a defensive paragraph rarely moves the score.

Reviewer-pushback patterns and the AAAI fix

  • "No comparison to method X." Fix: name the submitted table row that includes X, or argue X is out of scope; do not promise a fresh run that rules forbid.
  • "Results may not hold beyond one benchmark." Fix: cite the seed or split variation in the supplement; if absent, narrow the claim instead.
  • "The AI-generated review flags a missing baseline." Fix: correct it calmly with a submitted pointer; the AI review is advisory, so a one-line factual rebuttal suffices.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
