How is it the opposite of reality? The commenter exaggerated some numbers, or charitably made a math error, but as far as I know the thrust is correct: AWS is well known for offering discounted rates to high volume customers. In some parlance I hate but will adopt here: the comment is directionally correct.

Do you have any evidence that AWS doesn't offer volume discounts? I have seen plenty of evidence that they do.

Speaking to the subject of this sub-thread, there is pretty good evidence (Anthropic's own pricing page) that Anthropic also offers volume discounts on their API pricing. Five days hence, they have not taken down this language from their platform/API pricing page:

> For higher rate limits or custom pricing arrangements, contact the sales team.

> Volume discounts may be available for high-volume users. These are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

> Enterprise customers can contact sales for custom pricing.

Simon has ignored all of my comments arguing this point. That makes me reconsider his credibility: why won't he provide any evidence to support his assertion, or admit he may be wrong here?
