Opus-Tier Model Pricing Sparks Competition Debate
kristoph · x · 2026-07-17
Some comments point out that if third-party US and European hosting companies can provide Opus-tier models for $15 per million tokens, why should enterprises pay at least double the price to the original US provider.
Replies express being "very satisfied" with this launch, arguing that they should only worry if the models are completely crushed in benchmarks, while casually mentioning that GPT-6 still far exceeds the former.
