It’s the summer of 2026. Is AI really cheaper than humans or is it an outright lie? People said AI models be improving, becoming ten times more efficient and cheaper, but what is the reality? What can we really expect in 2027, for example?

In 2027 we can probably expect vastly larger bills or reduced usage limits. The price at which some models are being offered right now is in no way sustainable. For example Anthropics subscription plan gives you tons of quota for the most expensive models, while costing relatively little. Github Copilot recently changed its billing to token-based (before it was request-based) and it already produces incredible bills within the company I work for.
