That's insane. A company I work at leverages AI heavily across sales, product, engineering, etc.
Company of 50ish.
Nobody I know at our size or smaller uses it as heavily as us. I realize that's subjective.
We're sub $20k/mo.
This person is not using a tool correctly. They're probably burning on inference. Probably inflated rules and context. Probably shipping slop and then fixing slop with slop. Absolute garbage.
From their website it looks like they're "reselling" so, that's my best guess as to why their bill would be so high
Their company is providing AI tooling, and the clients are paying for it from what I can see. He's "proud of the invoice" because his company is earning a margin on effectively reselling it. The more they paid Anthropic the more their profit was.
