Anthropic held headline rates at $5/$25 per million tokens while shipping a tokenizer that inflates inputs by up to 35%, which makes price-per-token comparisons meaningless.

The only number that matters now is price-per-useful-output, and that requires workload-specific benchmarking most teams won't run.
