A $200 AI subscription can be worth $12,000 in tokens. Which plan delivers it is not close. "They're selling to willing buyers at the fair market price. This is capitalism." "You can pay $200 for a Claude plan and get $12,000 of Opus 5.5 tokens at API pricing. So that's obviously a good deal." "You have to say the $200 plan, when running a particular workload on a particular model, gives you some dollar amount. But then you also have 5.5, which is a beast. $6K or $5,000 worth of value." "And when you do that comparison, it's not even a question of who's providing more value. ChatGPT versus Anthropic subscriptions." @maxkan and Andrew Megalaa join @JordanNanos this week
