A tweet compares current LLM inference costs with those of four months ago. GPT-5.4 (xhigh) scores 51, matching Luna max's performance. However, GPT-5.4 is priced at $2.50/$15, whereas Luna costs only $0.20/$1.20. This means that in roughly four months, the token price for OpenAI's flagship-level intelligence has dropped to about one-thirteenth of its previous cost.
