the bottom line is that a.i is getting more and more expensive and they have excuses for that. just last week trae.ai reduced its plan credits from 400$ to 100$

I wonder what's the ceiling for these plans' prices. At some point, it becomes a non-negligible fraction of the salary for the employee, especially in non-US employment markets.

to be honest wasn't much surprised cause of the current situation like frontier models being so expensive and the models like opus consuming way much more tokens you just can't justify any of that. this token math is just so damned right now :(

Cloud agents in Codex are quite poor solution compared to Claude Code, you are forced to use your own computer, which is not the desired setup for anyone with a standard laptop not suitable for doing lots of work in parallel. So I would still prefer to spend some dollars in Anthropic or even Cursor solutions, which work much better as cloud dev envs.
