alt Hacker NewsYou're referring to the Agentic search, but if you look at the Agentic computer use the cost is basically halved.
However, I am also confused about market positioning. Too expensive to perform daily tasks - open souce models are much cheaper - and not frontier model to address complex real world problems.
Rarely used Sonnet btw.

The specific market positioning is... for me to use at my big tech company job, where we aren't allowed to use GLM and similar, but have fixed caps on how much token usage we're allowed to rack up a month.
You're the second person that has said this but I cannot understand why you are interpreting the "Agentic computer use" graph in this manner.
The graph shows that Opus is cheaper than Sonnet for the same performance. Unless I am suffering a cognitive blindness thing right now.

There is a real advantage, especially for businesses, in using an off the shelf solution from a corporate provider.
Personally, the advantage of not having to set up multiple solutions from multiple sources outweighs the cost of a $20 a month subscription. Think about why a lot of consumers prefer Apple devices over Linux. There are a lot of advantages to Linux, but "never having to think about my tools" is its own advantage.
