The case for what's coming next

It's been over fifty days since Opus 4.5 dropped. What we're seeing now is a crucial inflection point—the major research labs are starting to converge on similar capability levels. When you reach that kind of parity across the board, something shifts fundamentally.

Here's the thing: API pricing becomes a game of margins, not monopoly rents. Competition forces the hand. Costs drop. And once the infrastructure gets cheaper, everything else follows. Developers start experimenting. Teams that couldn't justify certain projects suddenly can. The whole ecosystem gets unlocked.

That's when the interesting stuff actually happens.
