The per-request pricing is ridiculous (in a good way, for the user). You can get so much done on a single prompt if you build the right workflow. I'm sure they'll change it soon

  Yeah it seems insane that it's priced this way to me too. Using sonnet/opus through a ~$40 a month copilot plan gives me at least an order of magnitude more usage than a ~$40 a month claude code plan (the usage limits on the latter are so low that it's effectively not a viable choice, at least for my use cases). The models are limited to 160k token context length but in practice that's not a big deal. Unless MS has a very favourable contract with Anthropic or they're running the models on their own hardware there's no way they're making money on this.

    Yeah, you can even write your own harness that spawns subagents for free, and get essentially free opus calls too. Insane value, I'm not at all surprised they're making changes. Oh well. It was a pain in the ass to use Copilot since it had a slightly different protocol and oauth so it wasn't supported in a lot of tools, now I'm going to go with Ollama cloud probably, which is supported by pretty much everything.
