Price Per Token Is Now Accepting Sponsors

I am finally monetizing the site through sponsorships. If you’ve been on the site recently you’ll see I found my first one- PromptLayer (thank you PromptLayer!). Please reach out to me at [email protected] if your company is interested sponsoring! The site has 400 devs coming per day and growing 20% per week. You can see those numbers updated live here.

Open AI makes $10B dollar deal with Cerebras (link)

Cerebras builds high speed AI inference chips that work by “putting massive compute, memory, and bandwidth together on a single giant chip.” This is an effort to speed up inference on Chat GPT and their API. High speed inference continues to be in the spotlight after NVIDIA’s $20B purchase of Groq.

Anthropic announces Anthropic Cowork (link)

Anthropic kills 10,000 startups this week by launching Cowork. Cowork brings the power of Claude Code to the non technical user. So instead of going through a terminal, users can just use the Claude online interface to go into plan mode, edit files on their computer and integrate with their other apps like their calendar, email and Chrome. If you’re already used to Claude Code like me this doesn’t seem like a big deal but it does bring these capabilities to more people.

Google announces ecommerce protocol (link)

The protocol is called the Universal Commerce Protocol. In Google’s own words “UCP establishes a common language for agents and systems to operate together across consumer surfaces, businesses and payment providers. So instead of requiring unique connections for every individual agent, UCP enables all agents to interact easily.” Partner developers include all the major online retail players (other than Amazon): Shopify, Etsy and Walmart. We can now look forward to Gemini deciding to spend $200 on a new suitcase on our behalf.

Useful Tool: Google Search Console MCP (link)

I’ve been relying heavily on Claude Code to build out the SEO for Price Per Token. The biggest help I’ve gotten for making that happen is this MCP. With it I can ask Claude Code to analyze my search console data and apply findings directly in my code. For example, it has found I have low click through on certain terms and edited my meta tags directly based on that. It also identifies performance issues identified by Google and fixes them right away. If you do any SEO work I highly recommend it.
