# What Will Be the Exact Pricing of Next-Gen Models?

## The Question
The speaker speculates that next-gen models (e.g., [[entity-claude-mythos-d45]]) will be priced around **$50 / $250 per million** input/output tokens — roughly a 10x jump from current Sonnet-tier pricing. But the exact pricing structures from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google **remain unannounced** at the time of recording.

## Why It Matters
The magnitude of [[claim-next-gen-expensive]] determines just how punishing today's [[concept-token-burning]] habits will become. If the jump is 2x, current habits remain merely wasteful. If it is 10x, they become organizationally untenable.

## Resolution Path
- Wait for official pricing announcements from major AI labs for their next frontier models.
- Track Anthropic's, OpenAI's, and Google's pricing pages and developer-day announcements.
- Cross-check with [[entity-jensen-huang-d45]]-style compute-budget remarks for directional signals.

## Current Evidence (from enrichment overlay)
As of the overlay's snapshot, frontier pricing remained in the **$3–15 / $15–75 per million** range — meaningful increases, but **not** 10x. The 10x figure should be treated as Nate's worst-case scenario, not a confirmed forecast.
