I won’t use anything less than the SOTA. It tried using Opus 4.6 medium and immediately regretted it. High messes up enough.

What were you using 6 months ago?
Opus 4.5 ~= Opus 4.6 high. Opus 4.5 was nerfed just before or after the release of 4.6.
The models don’t change.

You cannot afford the SOTA.
Why is that? The $200 per month subscription comes with a ton of usage.
Opus 4.6 is available on the $20 plan too

$200 dollars + VAT is half of my rent.
I know HN is not a good place to rant on this subject, but I'm often flabbergasted about the number of people here that lives in a bubble with regard to the price of tech. Or just prices in general.
I remember someone who said a few years ago (I'm paraphrasing): "You could just use one of the empty room in your house!". It was so outlandish I believed it was a joke at first.
EDIT: "not", minor grammar

200 USD/month is a number only really affluent programmers (e.g. in the Silicon Valley) can perhaps pay easily.

I'm starting to think in these conversations we're all often talking about two different things. You're talking about running an LLM service through its provided tooling (codex, Claude, cursor), others seem to be talking token costs because they're integrating LLMs into software or are using harness systems like opencode, pi, or openclaw and balancing tasks across models.
