Epoch AI 根据 OpenAI 公布的 2026 年 1 月至 8 月中旬研究员编码智能体使用数据拟合趋势，发现按 API 标价计算的支出大约每月翻一倍。

OpenAI's median researcher used $601 of coding-agent inference a day at API prices, up from under $1, in January 2026.
Eoch AI's new report.
OpenAI researchers' coding-agent usage, valued at API list prices, is doubling roughly every month
By mid-August 2026, the median researcher used $601 a day and about $2M a year, roughly matching or exceeding what employing a researcher costs.
This pace probably can't last, since one more year would reach about $185M per median researcher, and list-price figures reveal nothing about what OpenAI actually spends.
OpenAI recently published data on its researchers’ coding-agent usage. We took their weekly figures from January to mid-August 2026 and fitted trends to summarize how quickly spending grew. We found that spending has been doubling about once a month.在 X 查看被引用的帖子
