don't bother at all

assuming it doesn't all implode due to a lack of profitability, it should be obvious



The underlying models are apparently profitable. Inference costs are in a exponential fall that makes Gordon Moore faint. OpenRouter shows Anthropic, AWS, Google host Claude at same rates, apparently nobody is price dumping.

That said, code+git+agent is only acceptable way for technical staff to interact with AI. Tools with sparkles button can go to hell.

if I dropped 99.999999% of my costs I'd be Google level profitable too
