Microsoft's AI agents rewrite the GitHub Copilot runtime in Rust for $120K

Commenters question feasibility of the $120K token-cost figure

On Reddit, a commenter estimates the compute costs implied by an Opus-class model on a 400,000-line-scale project would require roughly 60 billion tokens, questioning whether the reported $120,000 figure is consistent with known hardware and operational cost estimates.

“Hardware mortization for an Opus class model is around 1$ per mil tokens alone, then you get operational costs in the same range... they would allegedly spend around 60b tokens on that project? Would be a bit rough for a 400kloc project”
