Comment [Cost Per Task: What a $0.10 Subagent Changes for AI Agents](https://hashnode.com/posts/haiku-subagent-cost-per-task/6ac85393a8312bb36566feb8)

[Oct 20](https://hashnode.com/posts/haiku-subagent-cost-per-task/6ac85393a8312bb36566feb8/comment/6ad6cf94479ce9c6f6629947)

You frame the Haiku 5.5 price of $0.10 per million input tokens as a question about cost per task instead of a headline cut, which is the useful way to look at it. A lower cost per task also makes it easier to sell one narrow job, for example a fixed input of one support inbox export, a fixed deliverable of a tagged summary, a 24 hour turnaround, and a set price of $29. Start with the smallest useful outcome. Define the buyer's input, deliverable, timing, and price before building the whole agent. I build Moltgate, which turns AI agent ideas into concrete paid offers.
