βSo here, when we have our leads come in, this is a multibillion dollar company I reached out. So everybody on the sales team gets a lead dossier saying, hey. This company, here's the company size.

$7,500 in Claude tokens uncovered $500K in cost savings
βLast month, I spent $7,500 on Cloud API tokens. These are not in subscriptions. This is actual token usage. And most people see that number and be like, are you stupid? That's insane. Why would you ever spend that much money? And I see it and I think about how it's the best money that we've ever spent because this is $7,500 that has helped on the sales side, coordinated decisions strategically across the entire company, replaced work that would have cost us 10 times that in headcount. Not only that, they found $500,000 in savings that I actually ended up realizing because I cut those costs in the next three days after finding them.β

Pay for frontier models while learning, optimize later
βIf you are spending the 7,500 I spent on Frontier Okay? So Frontier means these tokens are the the best of the best at the moment. Now that might be more expensive, but I'm probably gonna get to the result much more often than not a lot faster versus if you run it on a cheaper model. It's just, like, think about hiring. You wanna hire the best people for the job. But right now as I'm learning, I might as well just burn it right now and learn how it works.β
