#AI Costs

A cost formula for AI jobs at volume: generation, verification and rework. Worked at three failure rates and three checking designs on published 2026 rates.

Claude Code 2.1.278 stopped charging for its auto-mode classifier where checks run server-side. What Claude Code, OpenRouter and Copilot bill for routing.

Assess FLUX Video Edit pricing and input limits before revising a clip. Compare editing with regeneration and review what changes beyond the requested edit.

Compare Fugu Max and Ultra v2 pricing, long-context charges and review costs. Use a workload test to decide when additional reasoning justifies its price.

OpenAI's Project Camellia is a $20B initial, reported $30B-plus full build-out campus in Georgia, power phased from 2028 to 2032 as compute stays scarce.

Gated reports, paid calculators, and premium tiers can turn a website into a revenue line. Worked build-cost-versus-revenue models below, not promises.

Fable 5 meters from July 7. Spend the remaining included window on durable plan artifacts that cheaper models can execute for months, not on routine drafts.

Claude Fable 5 was included through July 7 — now extended to July 12 — then moves to metered usage credits. How to sequence the window before the meter starts.

Run Claude Fable 5 as the planner and route execution to cheaper models in Hermes and OpenClaw. The exact config keys, cost math, and marketplace hardening.

Claude Fable 5 costs $10/$50 per million tokens, double Opus 4.8. How individuals and small firms recoup that metered spend — with the honest counterexamples.

Claude Fable 5 lists at $10/$50 per million tokens and meters after July 7. How prompt caching, the Batch API, and spend caps cut the bill — with worked math.

OpenAI Sora was losing $1M daily before shutdown. Disney canceled $1B AI investment. App closing April 26, team pivoting to robotics simulation. Full breakdown.
