AI 价格战两面：API 降价、订阅涨价
观点帖称 API 按量付费越来越便宜（Gemini 4 Argon 主打高端能力中端定价、Claude Haiku 5.5 降价九成），而包月订阅反而变贵，OpenAI 砍掉 $200 档改推 $500 档。
There's a price war going on in AI. OpenAI has cut their API prices again and again. Gemini 4 Argon promises high-end capabilities at mid-tier pricing. Claude released the new Haiku 5.5 at 10% of its predecessor's cost. But there's another side. While API prices fall, value in subscriptions shrinks. OpenAI just killed its popular $200 plan and introduced a $500 plan instead. So what looks like one trend is really two. → Pay-per-use gets cheaper → Flat-rate plans get expensive I never liked those highly subsidized plans. There is no way to compete with these without spending unholy amounts of VC money. When they go away, the market opens up.
