Anthropic has announced that the introductory pricing for Claude 3.5 Sonnet is now permanent, keeping the rate at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens. Combined with previous tier adjustments, the effective cost of using the Sonnet model has dropped by about 33%.
Commenters suggest that major AI labs are deliberately squeezing profit margins to counter the pricing pressure from Chinese AI labs, signaling an intensifying price war in the LLM market.
