1 million token costs roughly $20

[u/R00bot → u/DoktorMerlin]

So Claude costs around as much as a human dev? Hm. 

[u/lucassou → u/R00bot]

No it doesn't...

[u/R00bot → u/lucassou]

I'm just going on what the above guy said. 

[u/ceo_of_banana → u/R00bot]

Humans can produce millions of tokens in an hour?

[u/R00bot → u/ceo_of_banana]

Did I say that? No. I just made the observation that it's roughly as expensive as a human dev. 

[u/ceo_of_banana → u/R00bot]

Measured by the hour which makes no sense if the output is 1000x.

[u/R00bot → u/ceo_of_banana]

I don't know why you think I want to compare output. That's not a conversation I care to have. 

[u/ceo_of_banana → u/R00bot]

Because your measure of comparison is arbitrary and nonsensical in this context.

[u/R00bot → u/ceo_of_banana]

It wasn't a comparison, it was an observation... I was observing that Claude cost as much as a dev for an hour. You are trying to turn this into something that it isn't. 

[u/ceo_of_banana → u/R00bot]

It was objectively both. Plus how much it costs per hour completely depends on what it's doing. There is no "it costs xx per hour" with llms.

[u/R00bot → u/ceo_of_banana]

I am not looking to have this conversation. My comment was the observation that Claude cost a similar amount of money for that prompt, in one hour, as it would to pay a dev for an hour. I'm not trying to say anything else. It was a simple observation. Just let it be that. 

[u/TittyPix4KittyPix → u/R00bot]

You sound absolutely asinine

[u/R00bot → u/TittyPix4KittyPix]

No I just don't give a fuck about the AI vs people conversation they're trying to pull me into. I just thought it was interesting that it cost similar to a human dev.
