alt Hacker NewsI can't help but wonder what this cost in USD assuming you paid standard rates from Anthropic. Can someone even ballpark the price?

10k lines ~$250 in OpenAI API calls (no plan)
45 million lines would get to ~$1.125 mil for the linux kernel.
950k lines for Bun would get to $23,750
use whatever math you like ofc.
Does an Anthropic/employee pay that, no. Even if it's at a loss in terms of company revenue, it's worth burning the private capital for all kinds of other reasons.
Much less than what it’d costs for a team of rust engineers.
This is both amazing and scary; has been for a while now.
