My guess? The AI companies will keep the free and $20/month plans to entice developers and their managers. They will have $200/month plans with bigger context windows to allow effective work on larger that toy codebases. But sooner or later companies with large scale projects are going to need a much larger context window, that _that_ will suddenly become a $200k/year/developer subscription. There's a lot of correlation between "institutional knowledge" and context window I think.

Interesting. I just posted a similar comment as a sister comment to yours above (at least at the time of reading the thread) to another persons comment about cost of AI code going to zero... Which was basically the same as you believe here.
