Value by kind of work

Turns of mixed coding work the allowance covers in a month, each kind on the plan’s cheapest model that is good enough. How this is worked out.

Work mix	Turns a month	Per dollar
Light only (100% light)	22–88	2.8–11
Mostly light (40% normal, 60% light)	2.2–8.5	0.27–1.1
Balanced (5% frontier, 15% hard, 60% normal, 20% light)	0.02–0.078	0.0025–0.0098
Mostly hard (10% frontier, 40% hard, 40% normal, 10% light)	0.0094–0.037	0.0012–0.0046

On the balanced mix: frontier work on Grok 4.7 (xhigh reasoning), counting 0% of a turn; hard work on Grok 4.7 (xhigh reasoning), counting 0% of a turn; normal work on Grok 4.7 (xhigh reasoning), counting 4% of a turn; light work on Grok 4.7 (low reasoning).
