Is it? The actual SOTA are not amazing at coding, so at least for me there is absolutely no reason to optimize on price at the moment. If I am going to use an LLM for coding it makes little sense to settle for a worse coder.
I dunno. Even pretty weak models can be decently performant, and 9/10 the performance for 1/10 the price means 10x the output, and for a lot of stuff that quality difference dosent really matter. Considering even sota models are trash, slightly worse dosent really make that much difference.
