Seems like a pretty pointless post that still centers around output tokens.

In agentic coding, cached input tokens is 90% of the API "cost". It doesn't require GPU compute, and DeepSeek has shown that it can be done 50~100x cheaper with MLA/CSA/HCA, and a whole bunch of disks. This should collapse the margin.
