Jeremy Howard, fast.ai co-founder, criticizes Anthropic for failing to lower developer API pricing alongside subscription updates
Theo defended the pricing as necessary to fund compute.
@jeremyphoward @AnthropicAI IMO API usage will probably be deprecated / removed relatively soon for top model providers (maybe excluding google)
Jeremy Howard@jeremyphowardHas @AnthropicAI completely given up on making API usage reasonably-priced? Following the token-usage changes recently they announced various updates to *subscription* usage to make it more reasonable. But they've done NOTHING for API users. The cost is insane at this point.
@jeremyphoward @AnthropicAI Where do you think they’re getting the compute money from?
