That would be extremely surprising and a massive blunder by Anthropic in model design architecture ... which I highly doubt to be the case.

The cost to train and infer that would be insane, even by today's standards.

Double plus good, eh!

They are for-profit corporation, not our government.

There's a difference.

This isn't a restaurant and they're not waiters.

I've been a prime account member in good standing for over 5 years now.

I order thousands of dollars worth of stuff every year.

They're not cancelling my account. Ever.

They seriously don't give a shit. They're not paying these costs. It's all covered. They are not the same company who delivers or insures.

In my defense, they started it. (I had purchased a stainless steel muffler with a lifetime warranty off of Amazon Auto, the thing was counterfeit, completely rusted through in less than a year, and Amazon would not honor their written warranty and I didn't care to fight it legally...)

So the next time they dropped my package off in my lobby when I have specific instructions to bring it to my front door? I never got it.

And unfortunately for them... it keeps happening now?

Like every other package that gets delivered?!

(They always believe this, apparently... either that, or their agreement with their delivery insurance services must eat the cost).

I've more than gotten my muffler refunded now and they're none the wiser, so win win really!

Look it up.

Netanyahu has been funding Hamas indirectly for decades.

tinfoil asks more than 10x the output cost ... $1.90 per 1M tokens instead of $0.18 per 1M tokens for my favorite model (Deepseek V4 Flash 0731) on my favorite provider (DeepInfra) currently, for example.

I am quite happy with them so far.

I'd be surprised if they closed out over 100B tokens today (they did 101B on sol 5.6 yesterday).

People actually have to select and want to use Sol 5.6 in their routing.

I have witnessed 5.6 Sol Ultra edit line after line of literally empty lines ... for hours.

I wasn't literally watching it, I came back to a goal (that it started for itself without my approval!) that had done nothing but that for some reason.

It couldn't explain why it had started.

Their token usage on 5.6 Sol isn't even expected to double today.

They're reacting instead of leading, basically.

Cutting API prices 50% while millions of your paying subscribers have had their limits slashed and are all literally looking at the salivatingly-cheap chinese API prices availalbe on openrouter...

Not only did OpenAI and all of their cash somehow MISS the opportunity to purchase OpenRouter ...

Now they're giving a discount on an API that nobody even uses (get real, nobody's paying API prices to OpenAI ...

I calculated a 5.6 sol coding session the other day ... $680+ USD ... and it actually destroyed the codebase it was working on during that session).

Needless to say, I will not be spending another dime with Codex or OpenAI.

This entire Codex reset limit fiasco has taught me they are not to be trusted.

Deepseek, here I come.
