Indeed, that is where the money is. Though enterprise is more focused on efficiently than retail and I'm not sure if they won't drift away from frontier models.

Depends on whether the frontier models can keep on offering better performance. The real efficiency is getting work done faster and better.
Compared to a $100k salary, a few hundred dollars a month is insignificant. If you can make the employee even just a few percent more efficient, it’s worth it.

Are/were you in a position to make such decisions or it is a guess? I'm not but given certain evidence I doubt that few percent will cut it. I know some of the richest companies on the planet from SF Bay Area who won't give lunch for free to their engineers. So I'm not sure about "few percent" :-D 10x we were promised, now that is more interesting but we all know that 10x engineers is nonsense.
