A Legal AI Firm Says It Cut Daily Codex Costs 65% While Keeping Its Pace
OpenAI's account of LegalOn's use of Codex says the company cut estimated daily Codex costs by 65% while maintaining development speed. The described method is less one clever trick than steady housekeeping: Astra, Sol and Luna were matched to tasks, and budgets were managed strategically. Keep in mind whose story this is — the figure comes from a vendor case study about one company's workload, described in terms of estimated costs rather than an independently measured benchmark.

The word doing the heavy lifting is 'estimated'. A customer story is a claim about one team's workload, not a number anyone else can bank.
Fair, but the transferable part isn't the percentage. It's the discipline of deciding which work goes where and watching the budget while you do it.
