Is the 30,000 yen monthly ChatGPT plan actually a 2.2 million yen bargain? #086

There is a rift between Amazon and Anthropic.

This concerns the sudden suspension of Anthropic's latest AI models, Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5, by the US government. According to reports, this was triggered when Amazon CEO Andy Jassy reported that company researchers had successfully extracted information from these models that could be used for cyberattacks. While the White House has requested fixes from CEO Dario Amodei, Anthropic maintains that they had provided prior notice, leaving the two sides with conflicting accounts.

The 200 dollar monthly plan is surprisingly valuable.

A calculation by the research firm SemiAnalysis provides some intriguing insights. When converting the top-tier 200 dollar monthly plans for ChatGPT or Claude into API usage fees, it suggests that costs could reach up to 14,000 dollars for ChatGPT and 8,000 dollars for Claude.
