Daily reminder that API pricing for both OpenAI and Anthropic is profitable today and that the cost of tokens for existing models falls sharply over time for a variety of reasons (unless we go into a far worse hardware inflationary environment than we are in today).

If you're not investing in these companies when they IPO and ideally before that if you are lucky enough to be rich, you deserve to not reap what you didn't sow.
