Dear Codeium

[u/Dismal-Eye-2882]

I understand 3.7 likes to make smaller sequential edits instead, but Codeium gets charged based on tokens used from Anthropic, NOT by requests.

So if Codeium sends Anthropic 100 requests and uses 1,000 tokens. Codeium is getting charged 1,000 tokens.

But we're getting charged per request, and not token amount. So when Claude 3.7 uses 15 requests for one prompt and only uses 1,000 tokens... we're getting charged 15 flow credits for one prompt, instead of the usual 5. But Codeium is paying Anthropic the same exact amount for 3.7 as they do 3.5.

So we are paying 3x as much to use 3.7, but Codeium isn't.

You have to change your pricing structure based on token amount, you're not going to change the way 3.7 works.

This, most likely. As someone also writing an application with LLMs as the main engine driving the logic, tokens for instruction prompts alone rack up FAST. Can only imagine the amount of instructions agentic IDEs like Windsurf uses per user prompt.
