At 20 year depreciation it’s $250 a month. Close to Anthropic’s $200 model. IMHO at this point a lot of developers would rather walk than code manually.


Are vehicles usually on a 20 year depreciation schedule?


Yeah, but $200 a month is not a sustainable price.


Seems they are growing and model is overloaded. I suspect they’ll raise the prices.

$1k for a lot of developers here is totally worth it.


Cable TV begs to differ. I grew up working poor and plenty of people around me dumped a lot of money into cable TV subscriptions, and $120 back in the late 90s is $240 now.

Computer costs keep collapsing. Image and audio generation is turned out to be less computer intensive than text (lol).

First company to launch 24/7 customized streaming AI slop wins!


I think the poster was saying giving away the models for $200 isn't sustainable for the provider, not that a user won't pay $200 for the latest and greatest models.


nope
