The Nesyona Effective-Price Index 2026 (AI consumer shrinkflation)
First-party research dataset from the Lattice network, published open under CC-BY 4.0 with a permanent DOI. Nothing here is scraped from another dataset — it is computed and published under a single ORCID-verified byline.
What it is
The first public computation of AI consumer effective price per task that accounts for tokenizer inflation and free-tier changes. Effective $/task across Claude Pro, ChatGPT Plus, and ChatGPT Pro for Jan 2026 vs Jun 2026, capturing list-price-flat 'shrinkflation' driven by the Opus 4.7 tokenizer (carried into Opus 4.8).
