## AI 摘要

$20/$200订阅定价由OpenAI设定并被Anthropic复制，适用于Chatbot却不适用于Agent。24/7 Agent的token消耗远超聊天场景。OpenAI与Anthropic陷入囚徒困境，无人愿率先调价以免用户流失，只能继续补贴、扩充GPU或限制第三方应用。作者预测，随着Agent普及，智能服务将变得更贵而非更便宜。

## 正文

I'm pretty sure the $20/$200 subscription pricing was vibe-coded by OpenAI， then copied by Anthropic.

That pricing works for chatbots， not agents. A 24/7 agent can burn through orders of magnitude more tokens than a user chatting with a chatbot.

Now they're stuck. Neither Anthropic nor OpenAI wants to be the first to change pricing and risk user churn， so the options are： keep subsidizing， get more GPUs， tighter rate limits， and enforce rules like limiting 3rd-party apps.

I wouldn't be surprised if intelligence gets more expensive， not cheaper.
