Why do people keep on saying that corporations will pay these price-tags? Most corporations really keep a very tight lid on their software license costs. A $250 license will be only provided for individuals with very high justification barriers and the resulting envy effects will be a horror for HR. I think it will be rather individuals who will be paying out of their pocket and boosting their internal results. And outside of those areas in California where apples cost $5 in the supermarket I don't see many individuals capable of paying these rates.

We just signed up to spend $60+/month for every dev to have access to Copilot because the ROI is there. If $250/month save several hours per month for a person, it makes financial sense

Okay, but you're in a S/W team in a corp, where everyone's main task is to code. A coding agent has clear benefits here.

This is not the usecase of AI Ultra.
