Ok but so it does cost Cursor $5k per power-Cursor user?? Still seems pretty rough..
Yes, you could turn it around to say that using Anthropic models in Cursor, Copilot, Junie, etc. is 'subsidising' Claude Code users.
$5 = $5
but $5 that I amortize over 7 years might end up being $1.7 maybe if I don't rapidly combust (supply chain risk)
Cursor may be losing money only on $200 sub people who do over $200 of usage (it grants $400)
Everyone else pays them at API prices
No, to use $5k in Cursor you have to pay $5k.
I wonder how they are defining a power user. How many tokens, what could be the size the code base?
The $5k power user is the one that consistently uses all input and output tokens available under the Max subscription
