   I don't see how anyone can be using Claude with prices like this, it's pretty incredible what the OpenAI team is doing, w.r.t model quality and pricing.

     Prices per 1M tokens     Claude Opus 5.5    Claude Opus 5
      Cache reads              $0.20              $0.50
      Input tokens             $4                 $5
      Output tokens            $20                $25
      Cache writes             $5                 $6.25

      I could already run Sol High on 3 concurrent side projects 24/7 and not run out of quota.

      This is great, but practically, I'm not going to start working on more side projects.

      Perhaps in another 6-12 months I'll be fine to drop down to $20/m instead of $200.

         You can now start to add automations on top of typical dev flows.

         There are a ton of use cases that open up with cheaper models.

         E.g. extensive security scanning on every PR, quality scans, adversarial reviews etc

            I already do all that...
