bindureddy · x · 2026-07-13
The author argues that Anthropic's effective API pricing continues to climb, noting that the cost of Sonnet 5 is now double that of Sonnet 4.6.
They contrast this with OpenAI, which is reportedly becoming more efficient and effective, while also mentioning Terra as a solid alternative. Based on these pricing and efficiency trends, the author predicts that OpenAI will likely be more profitable than Anthropic in the long run.
