See how it worksMyth-buster: older = cheaper is usually wrong
Anthropic prices the Claude Opus line flat across generations. Opus 4.6, 4.7, and 4.8 all sit at the same per-token price. OpenAI, by contrast, cuts price as a generation ages. GPT-5.4 is half the cost of GPT-5.5. The buyer's job is to read the lab's pricing posture, not assume one rule applies everywhere.
CLIENT OUTCOME
"Saved my firm over 100 hours in underwriting."
Jon and I worked together on an AI tool we created from scratch. I had never worked deep with Claude, but the Freddy Team and I were able to collaborate on a large project — the content, the build, the design, the delivery method, the P2P review.
Through this process, my usage and implementation of Claude grew beyond surface-level prompts. I have now built an entire web-app for my own company that is institutional-level — a product that can front-face both large development companies and small businesses alike.
The tool itself has saved my firm over 100 hours in underwriting and lets us investigate a deal forensically before ever spending more than 10 minutes reviewing the financials.
As a business owner, I cannot recommend Freddy enough. Their process will streamline your business ten-fold.

MACRO CONTEXT
1 BTC buys — H100-hours.
Useful background, not a trading signal. Crypto prices stream live from CoinGecko every 60 seconds. GPU rates are maintained reference values.
Why this matters
GPU rates are dropping faster than crypto is appreciating. Your AI bill should be falling, not climbing. If yours isn't, that's a contract problem — and exactly what the Marketplace is being built to solve.
