So is he suggesting that in the future, models of Opus 4.8 tier will no longer be as affordable? Like it would become 3-5x more expensive?

Now that's quite a prediction.

I believe the added point was that new tools identify a group of bugs, and then there aren’t more bugs to find. At which point it becomes another tool you use and don’t think about.

Also, from what I recall, Anthropic and OpenAI subsidize their prices by ~40x?

That said, given the prices*quality of recently released open models, I think the cost issue is moot.

I’m not exactly sure but I think he’s implying the AI labs aren’t profitable on inference? And that once the bubble pops those models won’t be available anymore? Just my assumptions
