These system prompts don't affect the API, they are for the Claude consumer chat products. We aren't charged extra for them.

They're also prefix cached, so the cost to Anthropic and performance hit is greatly reduced.

So the people using the Claude consumer chat products pay for them via usage...

That's not any better. It's actually worse.
