An agency owner says Claude Code turns idle ideas into coding experiments, pulling time away from client work. The r/ClaudeAI post is personal commentary with no product news or benchmarks.

GPT-6 Luna is priced at $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens, while Claude's cheapest model, Haiku 4.5, costs $1 and $5 — a 10x gap. The post argues agents send most calls to small worker models, where most tokens are spent.
