Two small pull requests
Theo describes using Ultrafast for ordinary work. Both reviewed pull requests were under 100 lines.
When I first tested Ultrafast, I used it for ordinary day-to-day work, including reviewing two pull requests. Both were under 100 lines of code. Together, the two reviews used $600 worth of tokens.
The reported usage
He reports $600 of combined usage. He points to a sixfold difference in output-token price.
The output price I am comparing rises from $50 to $300 per million tokens in Ultrafast. That helps explain how a small-looking review can produce such a large usage figure. This is my experience with two reviews, not a general price for every review.
