Was the fix worth $12 to you?
- simonw 4mo agoI'd have been pretty annoyed if I'd been paying full price, hadn't paid attention and that one prompt (screenshot plus a line of text) had cost me $12! On the discounted subscription I can tolerate it, it took a small bite out of my daily allowance but not enough that I regret anything. As an LLM researcher I have no regrets at all because watching it work around the environmental restrictions was fascinating.

- simonw 4mo agoHow do you mean? I'm quoting the API list prices for Fable, at it's $10/million input and $50/million output (and $1/million for cache hits on input).

- simonw 4mo agoI'm afraid I don't understand the question. Anthropic have prices they charge for their models. These prices are what you pay if you use the API, and they are also what you pay if you are an "enterprise" customer - generally any company with 150+ employees. I haven't seen Anthropic raise the prices of an existing model after it has launched. They sometimes raise prices when they ship a model - Fable is $10/$50 where Opus 4.8 is $5/$25. They also have monthly subscriptions for individuals, which are a notoriously good deal. THOSE are definitely less trustworthy and predictable than the API list prices, since the subscription allowed quotas can and have changed in the past. What am I missing here?

- simonw 4mo agoAnthropic's enterprise pricing has been thoroughly covered over the last few weeks. I've talked to plenty of people who are paying those prices. You can chose to trust me or not based on my track record. From your posting history it looks like you have a whole lot more relevant experience with enterprise software deals than I do. Have you learned anything interesting about how Anthropic pricing works?

- simonw 4mo agoWhich claim are you talking about here?

- simonw 4mo agoI have genuinely no idea what you are talking about at this point. I said that my session would cost $12.11 at standard Anthropic prices, based on using AgentsView to calculate cost against tokens used. I further asserted that Anthropic charge enterprise customers those rates. You kicked off a lengthy thread which I tried to follow but eventually lost track of the point you were making and/or the questions you were asking. And now you're talking about bias and I don't know where that came from either.

- criddell 4mo agoReading your description of what it did, $12 seems pretty inexpensive. That's a lot of work! If you knew up front it was a $12 fix, do you think you would have decided to just live with the scroll bar? Would have tried to fix it yourself? Do you think you would have been able to easily find and fix the problem?
- simonw 4mo agoIf I wasn't in learning-about-the-new-model mode and knew in advance that it was going to cost me $12 in actual money then yes, I would have taken a stab at figuring it out myself.
