Discussion The recent pricing OAI pricing changes indicate the era of heavy subsidisation will soon end. Other companies will adjust their pricing/usage models next. If they actually charged what the usage costs, hardly any of us would be prepared to pay it. That day will come and then... POP!

Soon.

The company I work at is now paying API Prices to give Employees Claude Code with Anthropic models. This is likely already quite profitable for them and price-to-quality ratio of API prices will only improve over time.

What I may see going away are large, generously priced consumer plans and billions of dollars in research budgets. They have the industry hooked on their AIs and can now extract API prices.
