This drives up price faster than quality though. Also increases latency.

They also recently lowered the price for Opus 4.5, so it is only 1.67x the price of Sonnet, instead of 5x for Opus 4.
I used to spend $200+ an hour on a single developer. I'm quite sure that benevolence was a factor when they submitted me an invoice, since there is no real transparency if I was being overbilled or not or that the developer acted in my best interest rather than theirs.
I'll never forget that one contractor who told me he took a whole 40 hours to do something he could have done in less than that, specifically because I allocated that as an upperbound weekly budget to him.
Do you ever feel bad for basically robbing these poor people blind? They're clearly losing so much money by giving you $1800 in FREE tokens every month. Their business can't be profitable like this, but thankfully they're doing it out of the goodness of their hearts.
