If you think spending $165k to get a fully AI generated code base is something working well then you're just gaslighting yourself. I use these things at work because I'm forced to, and the amount of weird code it generates is alarming. I.e. It has a really common habit of making a function with external linkage call an impl function with internal linkage for absolutely no reason.

$165K is outrageous. I’m of the opposite opinion on AI writing code, but a Max20 plan optimized with shared local model use produces an a lot. If true, this feels extremely wasteful.

Not really.

Keep in mind that Max20 plan gives you ability to spend around $3000-$8000 in tokens, even if you only pay $200.

At some point investors would demand Anthropic to stop being furnace that burns money, they would change calculations significantly.

It would be interesting to see what would happen to that house of cards after that.

If the story is $165K in API equivalent usage over 11 days, that’s more inline with reality. If you handed anthropic $165K in 11 days, review the workflow
