The Ten-Cent Brain: When Smart Enough Gets Cheap
from AI and the Human Future Hosted by Daniel Altman and Emily Carter
Anthropic's new small model, Claude Haiku 5.5, ships at the same price as OpenAI's GPT-6 Luna — with claims it's better, and 75% cheaper to run than its predecessor. Daniel and Emily work out what cheap, fast, good-enough AI actually does to everyday work: who saves the money, whose job changes shape, and what an ordinary person should watch next. ## Hosts ### Daniel Altman Daniel Altman is a computer scientist and AI strategist with a background in engineering, quantitative research, and emerging technologies.
