No, my point is I can get the same work done paying < $100/month with the open models.

I don’t think you can.

You'd be surprised what you can accomplish if you don't just let the agents go wild.

An Anthropic sub is $200/mo, max. I only use open weight models, but the reality is that $200/mo Anthropic sub is way better value per dollar than an open weight model. I use open weight models for other reasons, but I have to limit myself to flash, and I am very controlling of which providers I use to keep the price down, and I still come out a little worse than Anthropic for my monthly bill.

I don't know how you use your agents and what kind of work you are doing, but my experience is that in terms of pure output per dollar, you cannot beat an Anthropic subscription with an open weight model.

I'm not saying you don't get good value out of your $100, I'm sure you're doing great, but I'm also absolutely certain if you followed the exact same workflow with an Anthropic subscription you would get better value.
