    Meta was spending ~300 MILLION dollars per MONTH on tokens around a month ago.

    I know they are using Claude, so the price estimation of 5$ per 1M tokens is kind of true, more or less.

    Tell me how is this sustainable in the long term?

    In a 30-day period, total employee usage on the dashboard exceeded 60 trillion tokens, and the highest-ranked individual user averaged 281 billion tokens. Using the least expensive version of Claude Opus 4.6, which costs $5 for every million tokens, that one user alone could have cost Meta more than $1.4 million.

      Using the least expensive model of Claude

      Meta makes LLMs. They’ve made multiple, some of them are even tailored for coding.

      Why are they using Anthropic’s AI instead of their own?

      I can only imagine there’s some sort of ouroboros slop machine money laundering cycle going on or something

        Because their LLMs suck, and they still want their devs to be productive, while watching their usage to train the internal models.

        They give you a choice, and no one is using the internal models.
