Cost is absolutely an issue here - my time is worth approximately $1000/day, so if a slightly worse model wastes one more hour of my time a day than the best model, it costs the company >$2k/mo. Fortunately my employer understands this well and encourages me to use the best models as much as I can.

- firmretention 1mo agoImagine how much it must have cost to have him read your comment! I hope he sends you an invoice.
- Cookingboy 1mo agoThat’s the thing, the difference is so small that you won’t be wasting an hour per day with a model that’s 95% as good. In fact, you’d notice zero difference most of the days and when you do, maybe it’s an extra 30 minutes. And the price difference is far greater than $2k/month once the API cost is no longer subsidized. Would your employer be paying an extra $20k/month to Anthropic if it can save you 2 hours a month?
