alt Hacker NewsMaking Luna, which was already very cheap and extremely capable, 5x cheaper is crazy. I use Sol at work but Luna at home, and while there's definitely a difference, it doesn't feel like night-and-day. After a year of ever-increasing prices it suddenly feels (between this, Kimi K3, GLM 5.2) that prices are falling again.

I pretty strongly disagree about comparing this to Kimi and GLM, 5.2 was a big price hike for Chinese models, and Kimi K3 was a big price hike to that. K3 was within spitting distance of OpenAI pricing (more expensive than short context Terra, less than long context). And that's after months of OpenAI/Anthropic prices going up.
Now we have an American lab drastically cutting a price, feels like this is the opposite of that trend.
Its just a matter of time at this point.These companies are working day and night to capture the market.
depends on what you are doing. if you are doing verifiable tasks like fixing bugs then any model would do as long as you write the right verification.

I see what you did there. :)
