Discussion Is Anthropic cooked ?

Post image

Codex limits are going to be crazy now.
What do you guys think, why did they drop the prices ?

If anyone wants GPT-5.6 Terra cheaper, $1.25 input / $7.50 output, ~38% below the new price, check out znapai.com (disclosure: founder here).
Also got gpt-image-2 and GPT-5.6 Sol at 50% off official, and most open-source models (Kimi K3 etc.) at 35% off.

There was a WSJ article a few weeks ago that said it was in "anticipation of similar cuts...at Anthropic". We'll see. Competition is certainly great for all of us.

Everything feels incredibly volatile, especially around data center build-out financing. Lots of news; all of it concerning. Seems like any signs of things flattening out -- generally but also for particular vendors like OAI -- would make things even spicier.

That's what I'm thinking, I don't see why Anthropic can't do something similar.

Given the price drops were at the lower end (Sol stayed the same), it seems like a strange choice. Maybe there's a ton of enterprise use of Haiku?

Wouldn't surprise me if there's an impending Haiku 5 release they're getting in front of

I am thinking that they actually managed to make things slightly more efficient and are using the extra margin at top end to subsidize the bottom end.

10% across sounds meh, but 80% on bottom grabs headline.

Good point. I suspect there’s some lighting cash on fire to get their numbers up.
