…menting with AI, deploying Gemini in early 2025 and Claude Code in early 2026. "We were highly skeptical about the cost of AI. We were seeing engineers spend $1,000 a month, $10,000 a month with not so much ROI, and so when we launched it we launched it with strict budget limits," Abitbol said. REG AD Because of this, engineers only had access to a limited n…

…mber of tokens, so the company began investigating self-hosting its own models. At $0.30 per million input/output tokens, self hosting GLM 5.1 cost about a tenth of using OpenAI's Codex or Anthropic's Claude Code. And, as it turned out, when tokens are cheap, you stop worrying about how many…
