Sentry CEO: Codex/Claude subscriptions don't cover evals or embeddings, and it hurts
zeeg · x · 2026-09-10
Sentry CEO David Cramer criticizes the current AI cost structure: Codex and Claude subscriptions only cover chat/coding quotas, not the evals and embeddings you actually need to build interesting tech—and evals get expensive fast.
His takeaway: hacking on software for fun used to cost just your time, now it costs your credit card, putting anyone who isn't a wealthy corp at a disadvantage in the open source era.
