But nobody says code is free(?). Certainly not Claude, that experimental compiler costs $20K to build. That openclaw author admitted in Lex Fridman talk that he spends $10k's on tokens each month.

Anthropic being valuated $380B makes $20k practically free for all intent and purpose.

Given how much they pay their developers, the Claud app probably cost at least 2, and likely 3, orders of magnitude more to build.

If their AI could do the same for $2m they'll definitely do that any day.
