Ok but so it does cost Cursor $5k per power-Cursor user?? Still seems pretty rough..
I wonder how they are defining a power user. How many tokens, what could be the size the code base?
No, it doesn't cost Anthropic $5k per Claude Code user

#12This is such a well-written essay. Every line revealed the answer to the immediate question I had just thought of
I can’t get past all the LLM-isms. Do people really not care about AI-slopifying their writing? It’s like learning about bad kerning, you see it everywhere.

#13How confident are you in the opus 4.6 model size? I've always assumed it was a beefier model with more active params that Qwen397B (17B active on the forward pass)
Even if it's larger, OpenRouter has DeepSeek v3.2 (685B/37B active) at $0.26/0.40 and Kimi K2.5 (1T/32B active) at $0.45/2.25 (mentioned in the post).

Yes, you could turn it around to say that using Anthropic models in Cursor, Copilot, Junie, etc. is 'subsidising' Claude Code users.

I don’t see the usual tells in this essay

#16Nobody gets RSI typing “iterate until tests pass”
Recursive self improvement and Repetitive Strain Injury being the same initialism is really funny to me

#17Good article! Small suggestions:
1. It would be nice to define terms like RSI or at least link to a definition.
2. I found the graph difficult to read. It's a computer font that is made to look hand-drawn and it's a bit low resolution. With some googling I'm guessing the words in parentheses are the clouds the model is running on. You could make that a bit more clear.

I think you're just hallucinating because this does not come across as an AI article

$5 = $5
but $5 that I amortize over 7 years might end up being $1.7 maybe if I don't rapidly combust (supply chain risk)

The $5k power user is the one that consistently uses all input and output tokens available under the Max subscription
