Claude answers pricing question by actually running the classification on all three tiers
yoavgo · x · 2026-09-06
Yoav Goldberg shared a delightful model behavior: when asked how much it would cost to classify a document collection with Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus, Claude replied that it was "an important question about tradeoffs" and decided to check rather than guess — then actually ran the classification with each model to produce accurate prices. A viral moment of an LLM being comically thorough.
