I tried casually using it for two hours and it burned $100 at the current 50% discounted rate, so your guess is pretty accurate...

I still don't get why Claude is so expensive.

  • Because we all prefer it over Gemini and Codex. Anthropic knows that and needs to get as much out of it as possible while they can. Not saying the others will catch up soon. But at some point other models will be as capable as Opus and Sonnet are now, and then it's easier to let price guide the choice of provider.
