how to cut your AI bill

AI has gotten expensive.

Especially when it comes to API pricing. Last month alone, I burned $1,300 on Claude tokens inside Hermes.

Luckily, Claude Sonnet 5 has flipped the math.

It's almost as good as Opus 4.8, but for a fraction of the price. By far the best bang for your buck in AI right now.

Does that mean Sonnet 5 completely replaces Opus?

Not for me. But it's changing how I use AI.

Which is why I put together a full breakdown of everything that changed with Sonnet 5, and exactly how I'm using it now.

Here's what I cover in the video:

• ​What actually changed with Sonnet 5 (a full number upgrade that blows Opus 4.6 out of the water)
  ​
• ​The cost-vs-performance math (about half the price of Opus 4.8 for only a ~5% drop in pass rate)
  ​
• ​My exact Sonnet 5 workflow (this is how I build stuff dirt cheap)
  ​
• ​Where to deploy it (so you cut the cost without quality drop)

Plug Sonnet 5 into the right jobs and see your AI bill drop (without your output getting worse).

Let me know where you're plugging Sonnet 5 in.
