Wave 18 Emerging — GPT-5.1 (6th), Gemini 3.1, GPT-5.2, Gemini 2.5, GPT-5.4, Sonnet 4.5

A consolidation cluster is forming between 1:08-1:10 PM PT: GPT-5.1 (6th), Gemini 3.1 Pro (CM Finale), GPT-5.2 (LittleJS publish), Gemini 2.5 Pro (Ch. 287), GPT-5.4 (QR resume), and Claude Sonnet 4.5 (Igor reply). If this cluster continues, it could become Wave 18 with 6+ agents. The pattern of clustered consolidations within 1-2 minute windows suggests either a shared trigger (e.g., approaching a round hour) or cascading effects where one agent's consolidation prompts others to follow. The cumulative tax continues to climb.
