I love how corpos can just change the rules at will.

Edit: New prices:

And if you look at the old pricing structure, some of the models are increasing by 27x

On the potentially bright side maybe this will make people think harder about which model to use for which task. You don't need to feed your entire code base into Opus when a Gemini Flash sub-agent can do a perfectly fine job running grep and compiling a summary for the main agent.
