OpenAI and Anthropic slash LLM prices up to 80% in months

OpenAI and Anthropic have cut prices on their large language models by up to 80% within recent months, signaling aggressive competition and shifting economics in the AI market. The price cuts affect both input and output tokens across their API offerings, making AI models significantly cheaper for startups and enterprises to integrate into products. Industry observers are questioning what these cuts reveal about the actual cost to run these models and whether current pricing reflects genuine economics or a race to market dominance.
