“OpenAI and Anthropic cut their LLM prices by up to 80% within a few months.”
Alex Kantrowitz
“Since last November, that launched the hyper growth of Vigentic LLMs. The models have become more of a commodity. And it's now trivial to try a new model on your code base with just a toggle harness like OpenCode or using something like OpenRouter.”
Alex Kantrowitz
