AI Coding Price War 2026: What Solo Builders Actually Pay

🎧 Prefer to listen? Your browser does not support the audio element. Three major AI companies now offer agentic coding models within striking distance of each other on price. Meta’s Muse Spark 1.1 launched at $1.25 per million input tokens. Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5 and OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Luna are in the same ballpark. For the first time since AI coding tools went mainstream, you have real pricing competition — and that changes the math for solo builders. ...
