Not really. With Opus 4 you will burn into the thousand a month with serious usage. I tested it yesterday and 5 hours of use was 60$. If I extrapolate that you will easily hit 1K+.
Are you comparing using opus via API based usage vs opus via the $200/mo plan?

But it's hard to take this seriously when the first paragraph claim is contradicting the fine prints.

Re: Cerebras Code
#74I'm so excited to see a real competitor to Claude Code! Gemini CLI, while decent, does not have a $200/month pricing model and they charge per API access - Codex is the same. I'm trying to get into the https://cloud.cerebras.ai/ to try the $50/month plan but I can't even get in.

#77Tried this out with Cline using my own API key (Cerebras is also available as a provider for Qwen3 Coder via via openrouter here: https://openrouter.ai/qwen/qwen3-coder ) and realized that without caching, this becomes very expensive very quickly. Specifically, after each new tool call, you're sending the entire previous message history as input tokens - which are priced at $2/1M via the API just like output tokens.…

This seems to be rate limited by message not token so the lack of cache may matter less
