The Price Drop Heard Round the World

Reflect w/ Ed Fassio — where AI tells the stories that matter. In the span of two weeks, Anthropic launched Claude Opus 5 at half the cost of its frontier model, and OpenAI slashed GPT-5.6 Luna prices by 80% and Terra by 20%. Enterprise AI adoption has officially shifted from 'what if' to 'ops problem.' We break down what the price war means for businesses, why the capability-per-dollar curve is accelerating, and what happens when pilots become production. Your Move: Map your AI workload by cost tier. Identify which model fits each task. Start building governance now, because the price drop means scale is coming whether you're ready or not. — Reflect w/ Ed Fassio | reflectpodcast.com
