It was higher sure, but anthropic also has some of the most expensive models out there. That cost could be 5x-10x less just by going with cheaper model providers (if one were to pay the API costs, not the case for bun).

bun 1.4 is released btw

My point was that it was cost of model rewrite by agents + 3 months worth of coding by lots of people.

5k open PRs atm + 3.5k open issues. I have no idea what is the state of Bun right now, but I am not confident in it.

I don't think there was a lot of people working on the rewrite. Most PRs are from bots. Original estimates for a manual rewrite were a small team working for a year or so, which puts total costs over $1M. Even doubling the token cost estimates, it was still cheaper than doing it manually by a factor of 2x-3x
