The new battle between OpenAI and Anthropic: attracting companies with cheaper AI
OpenAI and Anthropic have entered a price war to attract the business customer, which has cut the cost of using artificial intelligence models nearly in half since spring.
OpenAI and Anthropic have engaged in a price war to attract business clients, significantly reducing the cost of using AI models since spring. The cost of AI tokens has dropped by 56% since May, with prices falling to $0.92 per token in October, down from $2.07 in May. New affordable models have been launched, including OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Terra and Anthropic's Haiku 5.5, which are cheaper than their predecessors.
The price drop is driven by competition from open-source Chinese models and increasing demand for cost-effective AI solutions. As a result, companies are adopting more price-sensitive approaches and using a mix of affordable models from different providers.
