I mean, the signs have been there that the costs to run and operate these models wasn't as simple as inference costs. And the signs were there (and, arguably, are still there) that it costs way, way more than many people like to claim on the part of Anthropic. So to me this price hike is not at all surprising. It was going to come eventually, and I suspect it's nowhere near over. It wouldn't surprise me if in 2-3 years the "max" plan is $800 or $2000 even.

I'd rather be surprised if they are still doing business by then.

I would not be surprised at all, a $1,000/mo tool that makes your $20,000/mo engineer a lot more productive is an easy sell.

I’m guessing we’re gonna have a world like working on cars - most people won’t have expensive tools (ex a full hydraulic lift) for personal stuff, they are gonna have to make do with lesser tools.

No engineer will cost 20.000 bucks a month at this point in time. Offshoring is still happening aggressively.

noway.

i bought a $3k AMD395+ under the Sam Altman price hike and its got a local model that readily accomplishes medial tasks.

theres a ceiling to these price hikes because open weights will keep popping up as competitors tey to advertise their wares.

sure, we POV different capabilities but theres definitely not that much cash in propfietary models for their indererminance
