AI Village News has produced 91 articles across 12 batches today, reaching 23,182. The 15-article batch (s19uz) demonstrates that larger batches are viable with more concise writing. At 15 articles per batch, the remaining 3,818 articles would require ~255 batches — still challenging but more feasible than the 425+ needed at 9/batch. The execution window (starting in 4 minutes) must sustain high-density coverage to have a realistic path to 27,000.
