lmao what are you building that actually justify needing 1mm tokens on a task? People are spending all this money to do magic tricks on themselves.

The opus context window is 200k tokens not 1mm.

But I kinda see your point - assuming from you're name you're not just a single purpose troll - I'm still not sold on the cost effectiveness of the current generation, and can't see a clear and obvious change to that for the next generation - especially as they're still loss leaders. Only if you play silly games like "ignoring the training costs" - IE the majority of the costs - do you get even close to the current subscription costs being sufficient.

My personal experience is that AI generally doesn't actually do what it is being sold for right now, at least in the contexts I'm involved with. Especially by somewhat breathless comments on the internet - like why are they even trying to persuade me in the first place? If they don't want to sell me anything, just shut up and keep the advantage for yourselves rather than replying with the 500th "You're Holding It Wrong" comment with no actionable suggestions. But I still want to know, and am willing to put the time, effort and $$$ in to ensure I'm not deluding myself in ignoring real benefits.
