$550 wasn't spent. That was the "API pricing" value, but the author was on a monthly subscription plan so the tokens were already covered.

The guy who posted this is literally a manager at Anthropic, so for him this was free of charge.

Oh, I missed that. Yeah, Anthropic employees all have effectively unlimited tokens.

Just because they aren't charging that now doesn't mean their investors aren't expecting to charge that in future.

Monthly sub is a lie and should not be considered when looking at pricing.
