There are many internal developers at $dayjob (where core products are not based on AI) that spend over a thousand dollars every day on average, which is likely higher than their salary.
I doubt they are bringing that much value to the company for whatever work is done with that much token.
that's crazy: in my experiments (and experience) i can get ~ 90% the quality of the most expensive settings on frontier models for far far less than 90% of the cost by changing settings down.
