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) | 2.8k | 469 |
| Mostly light (40% normal, 60% light) | 107 | 18 |
| Balanced (5% frontier, 15% hard, 60% normal, 20% light) | 0.94 | 0.16 |
| Mostly hard (10% frontier, 40% hard, 40% normal, 10% light) | 0.45 | 0.074 |
On the balanced mix: frontier work on DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 (max reasoning), counting 0% of a turn; hard work on DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 (max reasoning), counting 0% of a turn; normal work on DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 (max reasoning), counting 2% of a turn; light work on DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 (max reasoning).
