Presumably they spend this much on frontier models. You don't run frontier models on GPU you "just buy".

The question thst matters is: is he more productive than someone with a standard $30/mo Claude subscription? Or with no AI?

It's pretty obvious $200k/yr in tokens is a ludicrously huge spend. Trying to pretend it's not to show how leet you are is weird. But the interesting topic buried here is what value he's creating with such a spend and how it benchmarks against alternatives.

Because that is the value prop of AI. If it doesn't stand up against options when measured clinically and objectively then what's the point of it
