the bottom line is that a.i is getting more and more expensive and they have excuses for that. just last week trae.ai reduced its plan credits from 400$ to 100$

Inference for the same level of intelligence is getting cheaper. Frontier intelligence keeps finding ways to get more expensive, yes.

But gpt-6-sol, for instance, dropped price for the same level of intelligence. That will keep happening, and someday we'll have basically-free sol. And hopefully by then, very cheap astra.

But some new wild thing will be very expensive.

I'm sure I'll figure out how to use the new one, but I would be extremely happy with near-free Astra.

Sol6 is clearly worse than 5.6. Have you tried using it? And Astra is more expensive.

Claude subs are great value again ever since Astra release moved lots of people to OpenAI subs. Even moreso since Opus 5.5 release.

We should measure cost per standard task. This is falling fast.
