FTA: “Multiple passes needed (initial translation, review feedback, iteration) → ~150M input tokens total
Output roughly equal to input → ~150M output tokens
Claude Opus API pricing: $15/M input, $75/M output (as of early 2026)
Estimated API cost: $13.5M in token costs alone”
I don’t follow that math. Wouldn’t 150 million input tokens cost 150 × $15 = $2,250 and 150 million output tokens 150 × $75 = $11,250, for a total of $13,500?
