This is still ridiculously expensive imagine having to pay $10 for 100 search results on Google, thats essentially what this is.
I really dont see how anyone's willing spend more than $1.50 per mm output. Let alone $15-50. Does anyone actually pay for usage based billing as a consumer?
This is pretty cheap compared to anthropic opus and fable.

Model Base Input Tokens 5m Cache Writes 1h Cache Writes Cache Hits & Refreshes Output Tokens
Claude Fable 5 $10 / MTok $12.50 / MTok $20 / MTok $1 / MTok $50 / MTok
Claude Opus 4.8 $5 / MTok $6.25 / MTok $10 / MTok $0.50 / MTok $25 / MTok
Note Fable costs $50 MTok and Opus 4.8 costs $25 / MTok.
Sometimes. It depends on the task. $15/Mtok is still a lot cheaper than human written code. It’s probably worth spending more for contract reviews. Tasks don’t have uniform value. If you’re using an AI for entertainment, then frontier premiums are hard to justify. For paid work, they’re a great deal if used reasonably.
Yeah, DeepSeek V4 (Flash and Pro) is below $0.004 for 1M cache hits.
Even with usage based billing I'm below $1 writing code all day.

same, pi as a harness works best, better than claude code and open code.
What harness do you use to get that? Reasonix?
Yes, this is the only pricing that seems sustainable
