a) price trends for each AI platform and
b) price comparison between platforms ?
I have not used any of the platforms truly professionally, but I have not as of yet had to pay anything to claude or qwen3. I am paying $20 per month to Google for some combination of AI tools, but that's fairly affordable.
That + OpenAI planning to lose money until at least 2030 might put into question the perspective of whether these LLMs business can sustain themselves in the long-run; increasing prices is one thing, but you will lose lots of customers together with this change.
I am glad china is subsidizing their models and releasing them open weight to pressure the US model providers. The value proposition at the moment is mostly tooling and that's easy to reverse engineer. That's probably why we see the switch to coding agent platforms. Not sure if it will work out in the end if we see base model stagnation like we have seen in the last releases.
