I follow your blog and read almost everything you write about Llms. Just curious (if you havent already written about it somewhere and I missed it), how much do you spend monthly, exploring all the various Llms and their features? (I think its a useful context for having a grasp of how much I would have to spend to keep up to date with the models out there and the latest features)

Most months I spend less than $10 total across the OpenAI, Anthropic and Google APIs - for the kind of stuff I do I’m just not racking up really high token counts.

I spend $20/month on ChatGPT plus and $20/month on Claude Pro. I get GitHub Copilot for free as an open source maintainer.
