Accenture sells AI transformation to thousands of clients while quietly telling its own employees they get a fraction of what some were already spending. The internal memo reveals a tension at the heart of every major consulting firm racing to profit from AI.
Why even bother at all? What can you do with those tokens? Ask for the weather twice?
The Haiku 5.5 model is actually quite inexpensive. I’ve used it to implement multiple features this month and have only spent $4 of my $20 monthly budget.
The legacy code I’m managing is a clusterfuck of the highest order. Even Sonnet struggles to analyze it sometimes 😑
I’m happy this is only a small part of my job, but oh my…

Technically neither - I use it via Microsoft Co-pilot subscription, and it’s a la carte for model usage from every provider.
Ah co pilot was much worse than claude code when I used it. Subscription is far far better the api prices are outrageous
