    Half the cost per task compared to Opus 5, comparing high effort to high effort. That's just really nice.

      That is a lot. I thought Anthropic models would just do the opposite because they are greedy for money.

        Greed is not what&#x27;s driving these prices, its cost. They considered very much in the red.

          The way to make money in this business right now is to make the absolute best product and convince everyone they need to use your thing, especially considering the training cost is a very large factor in the overall costs and you amortize that by selling inference.
