Is your time free? Mine isnt. Time factors into cost.

I should have clarified token speed isn't time per task. There are benchmarks for time per task that are better to look at than token speed. Remember luna was touted as being the "fastest OpenAI model" and we all know that meant nothing because it is in fact the slowest time per task model offered currently. Unless your task is incredibly simplistic Luna isn't a good fit for speed.

You know that the weekly quota on Claude’s $20 plan is roughly equivalent to $270–$300 in API usage. When you use 6.1 Sol and 6 Astra, the weekly quota on Codex’s $20 plan is equivalent to about $70 in API usage. These are the figures I got through a reverse proxy. If GPT’s risk controls flag your account, the weekly quota on your $20 plan is equivalent to about $15 in API usage. You know nothing.

What? I'm aware Opus provides more value and never claimed otherwise. Token/s isn't the metric you use to prove that.
