Today, I wanted to use Sonnet MAX 3.7 Thinking. I enabled price-based pricing, and it said that using it would cost $0.05. However, after submitting a query, it got stuck in a loop running npm i and he tried to install something completely nonsensical, racking up $0.25 in premium tools usage.
WTF?
Hey, take a look at this:
probably time to limit tools you dont want to call in the settings. I hate that in every web project 3.7 automatiicaly tries to launch a new python server.
Hey, sorry to hear you’ve had a poor experience!
While many people have reported a solid improvement with Max mode, we still hope to refine and improve on it as users test it out.
If you can, grabbing a request ID for this would be super helpful!
However, regarding the cost, please see what I wrote in the main thread below:
hey danperks, could you check my refund email sent to hi@cursor.com on March 6 ？I need your help. Email：rickxtzhang@gmail.com
I do wonder if it has to be premium tools to deal with sonnet MAX. Couldn’t it be the same tool used for common sonnet?
I really does spend alot. I’ve just run a command that has spent a lot of money and most of it were for tools calls. I think it should get better.
| 42 premium tool calls * 5 cents per tool call | $2.10 |
|---|---|
| 1 claude-3.7-sonnet-thinking-max request * 5 cents per such request | $0.05 |
at the end, it’s worth if you don’t care about the price but best possible quality
Yeah… but the point is:
Does it make’s sense to have to pay per each tool call? I am not sure if it does… do you get my point?
Paying for inference does make sense, but API calls… it does not seems like it makes sense… there could be a mix for that.
