In a post on X, Chamath Palihapitiya argued that "the math ain't mathing," pointing to an image he says shows a striking price spread for "leading edge" AI tokens: $0.50 per 1 million on one end and $56 on the other. As presented in his post, the claim is that costs can vary widely even among models framed as competing at the high end.

The math ain’t mathing. What this shows is that you can now spend $0.50 per 1MM leading edge tokens or spend $56 for those same 1MM tokens. 🤔
Commentary on X

@chamath this is deflationary to token cost/spend - love it
@chamath it maths perfectly @AnthropicAI is a pure scam
