Opus Cost = Minimum Wage in South Africa

3•bridgettegraham•1h ago
I was curious and checked it out: Opus 5 on the API at normal working intensity lands at 0.9×–1.3× the minimum wage in South Africa - at an average of ~$13 per active developer-day works out to R27.33/hour against a R30.23 floor (SA min wage). I just found that interesting and curios. I wonder how it holds up around the world.
