Output roughly equal to input → ~150M output tokens
Claude Opus API pricing: $15/M input, $75/M output (as of early 2026)
Estimated API cost: $13.5M in token costs alone”
I don’t follow that math. Wouldn’t 150 million input tokens cost 150 × $15 = $2,250 and 150 million output tokens 150 × $75 = $11,250, for a total of $13,500?
But not at the size of linux. The linux kernel is so huge mostly because of drivers. Which are mostly supported by the hardware providers. Not sure how easy would it be to convert to rust.
