“While we strive to maintain consistent pricing between preview and stable releases to minimize disruption, this is a specific adjustment reflecting Flash’s exceptional value, still offering the best cost-per-intelligence available.”

Anthropic did the same thing with their Haiku model when they released version 3.5. I hate it.

Pricing is a hard problem. Theoretically, if companies occasionally raise prices dramatically once something is useful, they sometimes can create early demand and more testers for future product releases. Ofc they have to be careful to avoid annoying regular users too much. When you sell the harm is limited to late users, but when you rent it is harder to figure out the optimal strategy.
