Pretty happy the under 200k token pricing is staying in the same ballpark as Gemini 2.5 Pro:

Input: $1.25 -> $2.00 (1M tokens)

Output: $10.00 -> $12.00

Squeezes a bit more margin out of app layer companies, certainly, but there's a good chance that for tasks that really require a sota model it can be more than justified.

Every recent release has bumped the pricing significantly. If I was building a product and my margins weren’t incredible I’d be concerned. The input price almost doubled with this one.

I'm not sure how concerned people should be at the trend lines. If you're building a product that already works well, you shouldn't feel the need to upgrade to a larger parameter model. If your product doesn't work and the new architectures unlock performance that would let you have a feasible business, even a 2x on input tokens shouldn't be the dealbreaker.

If we're paying more for a more petaflop heavy model, it makes sense that costs would go up. What really would concern me is if companies start ratcheting prices up for models with the same level of performance. My hope is raw hardware costs and OSS releases keep a lid on the margin pressure.
