API pricing is up to $2/M for input and $12/M for output

For comparison: Gemini 2.5 Pro was $1.25/M for input and $10/M for output Gemini 1.5 Pro was $1.25/M for input and $5/M for output

Still cheaper than Sonnet 4.5: $3/M for input and $15/M for output.
It is so impressive that Anthropic has been able to maintain this pricing still.
Claude is just so good. Every time I try moving to ChatGPT or Gemini, they end up making concerning decisions. Trust is earned, and Claude has earned a lot of trust from me.

Honestly Google models have this mix of smart/dumb that is scary. Like if the universe is turned into paperclips then it'll probably be Google model.

Well, it depends. Just recently I had Opus 4.1 spend 1.5 hours looking at 600+ sources while doing deep research, only to get back to me with a report consisting of a single sentence: "Full text as above - the comprehensive summary I wrote". Anthropic acknowledged that it was a problem on their side but refused to do anything to make it right, even though all I asked them to do was to adjust the counter so that this attempt doesn't count against their incredibly low limit.
Idk Anthropic has the least consistent models out there imho.
Because every time I try to move away I realize there’s nothing equivalent to move to.
People insist upon Codex, but it takes ages and has an absolutely hideous lack of taste.
It creates beautiful websites though.
Taste in what?
Wines!
With this kind of pricing I wonder if it'll be available in Gemini CLI for free or if it'll stay at 2.5.
There's a waitlist for using Gemini 3 for Gemini CLI free users: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScQBMmnXxIYDnZhPtTP...
It's interesting that grounding with search cost changed from

* 1,500 RPD (free), then $35 / 1,000 grounded prompts

to

* 1,500 RPD (free), then (Coming soon) $14 / 1,000 search queries

It looks like the pricing changed from per-prompt (previous models) to per-search (Gemini 3)

Thrilled to see the cost is competitive with Anthropic.
