alt Hacker NewsHow confident are you in the opus 4.6 model size? I've always assumed it was a beefier model with more active params that Qwen397B (17B active on the forward pass)

Even if it's larger, OpenRouter has DeepSeek v3.2 (685B/37B active) at $0.26/0.40 and Kimi K2.5 (1T/32B active) at $0.45/2.25 (mentioned in the post).

Also curious if any experts can weigh in on this. I would guess in the 1 trillion to 2 trillion range.

Yeah that's a massive assumption they're making. I remember musk revealed Grok was multiple trillion parameters. I find it likely Opus is larger.
I'm sure Anthropic is making money off the API but I highly doubt it's 90% profit margins.
