But I think they are relevant because you compare two numbers and one is much lower.

I've done some napkin math and CC code makes me more efficient when I pay 200/ month, but it wouldn't if I had to pay api prices

Really? Are you using opus and letting it run for long periods? Curious as to what your workflow is.

The math is highly in favor of us using it at our company and we are paying API pricing. I don’t imagine there’s a lot of people using Claude without getting their money’s worth…?

Yes, recently I've been working on some research/ optimizatiom problem.

I would start claude in Yolo mode, tell it keep trying new ideas until it runs out of 1m context. (Every day I am giving it a hint to explore different directions as the sessions before)

Twice a day for a month, fits well into CC max plan.

I guess if I had to pay per token I would still use it but only for tasks where the value is clearer and immediate.
