Cost Reduction in AWS Kiro CLI
I'm a Kiro CLI user for a month, on a pro plan, I prefer to use auto mode as kiro said it'll use the best model for the usecase, where I can get all benefits of Claude 4.x models, but, the tool calls were very expensive, a simple grep and sed commands take me 2-5 credits depending on my usage. even a simple Hi will take ~0.50 credits
But surprisingly, the costs were down today, literally halved, like I sent some messages and I'm seeing the costs like ~0.20, and tool calls and edits, read and mixed ops took me ~0.70 which seemed a good relief for me (confirmed that I'm in auto only), and it correlated with the Anthropic's post, where they said they are doubling the weekly usages too along with the daily usage getting doubled. Am I the only one feeling this or am I dreaming??😂
