Does this mean Claude Code $200 plan is really costing them more to run it especially for power users or they are just ripping off people with API usage? If they are just subsidizing for the $200 plan, is it just a land grab for now? and then raise prices later?
- Lionga 4mo agoClearly land grab, they reported billions of losses every quater. To be break even it needs to cost about 1000$ month, but then they would lose at lot of customers. Problem is they have no moat and will just burn billions of VC money to lose customers later.
- photonair 4mo agoIf I don't need something powerful like GPT 5.5 or Claude, I could just use Deepseek, Qwen or the cheaper chinese models. I think everyone is getting smart about routing their workload to models that are cheap but good enough to fulfill the request/task and then reserving the pricier like Claude for tasks needing higher intelligence.
- Hiteshjain118 4mo agoYup, I have been testing Qwen and Kimi lately. Seeing comparable accuracy of Qwen-Instruct (not thinking) to closed source models. Here's a blog we published on that https://www.coralbricks.ai/blog/alphacumen-finance-benchmarks https://www.coralbricks.ai/blog/alphacumen-finance-benchmark...
