    It costs 20x more than the Chinese models I use. I just don’t need them anymore. Sure I’d use them if forced to for a job, but I don’t pay them outside of that anymore.

    And my job won’t even pay for Claude now because it’s so ruinously expensive.

      Obviously not as "intelligent" but almost 10x cheaper

      Mimo 2.6 Pro: 0.04/0.4/0.87

      Sonnet 5.5: 0.2/2/10

      Opus 5.5: Sonnet prices times 2

      What I dont understand is their cache writes ($2.5). Why is that not covered by input cost?

        You don't have to pay for cache write if prompt isn't part of conversation.
