Comment Comment by sqs What's super interesting is that Opus is cheaper all-in than Sonnet for many usage patterns.Here are some early rough numbers from our own internal usage on the Amp team (avg cost $ per thread):- Sonnet 4.5: $1.83- Opus 4.5: $1.30 (earlier checkpoint last week was $1.55)- Gemini 3 Pro: $1.21Cost per token is not the right way to look at this. A bit more intelligence means mistakes (and wasted tokens) avoided. parent sqs 11 months ago
Here are some early rough numbers from our own internal usage on the Amp team (avg cost $ per thread):
- Sonnet 4.5: $1.83
- Opus 4.5: $1.30 (earlier checkpoint last week was $1.55)
- Gemini 3 Pro: $1.21
Cost per token is not the right way to look at this. A bit more intelligence means mistakes (and wasted tokens) avoided.
