Too expensive, yet probably still too cheap to make up for their cost of developing and running it. Don’t expect prices to go down. Or if they superficially go down, the models just consume more tokens per task so your bill still increases in the end.

It's only available on the $100-$200/month subscription plans until June 22nd, after which they're going to be charging everyone the full API token price. Then it's going to be really expensive.

(I think it may even be expensive enough for them to recoup their costs, unless OpenAI or Gemini put out a similar capability model before Anthropic have had a few months to make bank from it. There was that rumored customer who spent $500m in a single month, and that was just for Opus!)

Ah, well that makes sense. Will be interesting to see what adoption looks like for a model that’s billed at a more realistic price-point towards profitability.
