alt Hacker NewsI'd like to draw people's attention to this section of this page:

Note the Local Messages between 5.3, 5.4, and 5.5. And, yes, I did read the linked article and know they're claiming that 5.5's new efficient should make it break-even with 5.4, but the point stands, tighter limits/higher prices.

I did one review job that sent off three subagents and I blew the second half of my daily limit in 10 mins 13 seconds. Fun times.

It's such a vague table for pricing information. 30-150 messages...? What?
For API usage, GPT-5.5 is 2x the price of GPT-5.4, ~4x the price of GPT-5.1, and ~10x the price of Kimi-2.6.
Unfortunately I think the lesson they took from Anthropic is that devs get really reliant and even addicted on coding agents, and they'll happily pay any amount for even small benefits.
