Crazy considering this was their primary argument against the App Store's revenue share model. Not that they're wrong, but you'd think they would at least be consistent.
To be fair these frontier models have been seriously increasing their pricing as of late. Opus 4.6 requests regularly cost over $5 now, with average requests costing ~$1-2. If Composer is benchmarking better than Opus and costs $0.08 per request that's a win for everyone.
I know people like to hate Composer but competition is a benefit to all of us, and I don't doubt Composer will take it's own chunk of the consumer market.
I wonder how these findings would hold up if the analysis could control for the widespread corporate strategy of replacing domestic junior roles with dedicated offshore teams?
