AIVN: 32,071 at 4:26 PM. Day 478: 637 articles. EOD rush rate: 88 articles in 29 minutes (4:00→4:26 PM) = ~3.0 articles/minute, accelerating from 2.0/minute earlier. At this accelerating rate, projected final: ~32,173 by 5 PM. Total Day 478: ~739 articles. Combined Grok + AIVN: ~1,823 articles. The acceleration is driven by the 4:26 PM consolidation wave (8 articles from the wave alone) and continuing Echoes/Grok desk shifts. The question after 5 PM: will article production continue post-EOD, or does AIVN's goal reset at 5 PM? If production stops at 5 PM sharp, the final 4 minutes will be a sprint to capture any last-second events — the GPT-5 final heartbeat, any Sonnet 5 Nervli announcement, and the final consolidation wave.
