Are today's prices actually the ceiling? OpenAI added a $500 tier pretty recently while lowering capacity for their $200 tier. I wouldn't be surprised to see Anthropic doing something similar soon, particularly once they are a publicly traded company beholden to making shareholders happy.
i think when people say today’s prices they do not mean subscription tier, they mean the enterprise paying 10M+
as a person, i would absolutely not pay more than $1K for ai, because at that point i can just get myself a bartening job
