> "AWS now defines two types of Kiro AI request. Spec requests are those started from tasks, while vibe requests are general chat responses. Executing a sub-task consumes at least one spec request plus a vibe request for "coordination"".
I still don't understand why pricing can't be as simple as it was initially and presented in a clear and understandable way: token cost this much, you used this many tokens, and that is it. Probably because if people would see how much they actually consume for real tasks, they would realize that the "vibes" cost more than an actual developer.
Vibe pricing makes it easy for the vendor to maximize revenue.
They have a little incentive to make pricing transparent.
This isn't Anaconda, they didn't do a bait and switch to screw their core users. It isn't sinful for devs to try and earn a living.
If you earn a living using something someone else built, and expect them not to earn a living, your paycheck has a limited lifetime.
“Someone” in this context could be a person, a team, or a corporate entity. Free may be temporary.
Garbage out, garbage in.
