THE FRONTIER AI PRICE WARS CONTINUE

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Model pricing can now go stale before a startup ships. OpenAI cut Luna's API price 80% only three weeks after launch and dropped Terra's price 20%. Anthropic released Opus 5 at half the price of Fable 5, while Google priced Gemini 3.6 Flash below Kimi K3 per task. Cheaper models are already forcing frontier labs to move before most enterprises have even started switching. If model spend matters to your margins, keep switching costs low.
