SemiAnalysis 实测发现,AI 订阅计划对重度编码/聊天用户而言比 API 调用便宜 40–70 倍;API 仅在需要自动化或产品集成时更划算。$200/月的 ChatGPT Pro 可提供约 $14,000/月的 API 等价用量,$200/月的 Claude Max 20x 可提供约 $8,000/月。该机构购买了 Anthropic 和 OpenAI 各档订阅,随机运行长时编码任务直至周限额,证实实际订阅额度远比普遍认为的($200 对应约 $2,000 API 价值)更慷慨。
Interesting claim from SemiAnalysis.
AI subscriptions are dramatically underpriced versus API usage:
- For heavy coding/chat users, the subscription can be 40-70× cheaper than paying API rates; the API is mainly better when you need automation or product integration.
- a $200/month ChatGPT Pro plan can provide about $14,000/month of API-equivalent usage, while a $200/month Claude Max 20x plan can provide about $8,000/month.
