Most AI APIs obscure their real cost structure. After analyzing 1M+ requests, we found pricing pages lack transparency. Users can't compare value. We're rebuilding our pricing page with clear cost-per-use metrics, live benchmarks vs OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini, and real-world examples. Because trust starts with clarity.

OpenAI's GPT-5.4 mini reaches 94% of flagship performance at 70% lower cost, while nano cuts prices 92%. The gap between premium and budget AI models continues shrinking - mini trailed by 12 points on coding tests seven months ago, now just 3 points behind.

Meanwhile Google removed paywalls from Personal Intelligence, giving free US users Gemini access to Gmail and other personal data.

The race toward cheaper intelligence accelerates.

gpt-5.4-mini가 GitHub Copilot CLI에서 0.33(리퀘스트 단위)로 사용할 수 있다는 정보 공유. 곧 벤치마크를 돌려볼 예정이며, 'nano'(요금제/티어)가 없는 점은 가격 정책 결정 중인 상황을 암시한다고 언급함.
