This week on Market Intel, AI just entered a full-blown price war. Claude Opus 4.5 dropped its prices by 67%, TikTok rolled out AI content controls plus mandatory watermarking, and Google slashed Veo 3 video-generation costs by nearly half — all within days.

We break down what these updates actually mean for SMB content marketers, creators, and teams using AI for video, blogs, research, spreadsheets, and ad production.

What You’ll Learn:

🔹 Claude Opus 4.5 Price Drop

From $15/$75 per million tokens down to $5/$25 — plus new Excel & Chrome automations for analysis, research, and competitor tracking.

🔹 TikTok’s New AI Content Controls

A user-facing slider to see more or less AI content, invisible watermarking for 1.3B+ videos, and why creators should be transparent NOW.

🔹 Google Veo 3 Updates

47% lower costs for video generation, vertical 9:16 support, and native audio generation — but with hidden costs from failed attempts.

This week proves one thing: enterprise AI features that were expensive six months ago are now ranging from $9–$25. But the complexity of these tools still demands skill, testing, and strategy.

New episodes every Wednesday at 9am CST.
