Codestellation adds LLM cost estimates, drastically cutting software development value

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Codestellation, a tool that estimates the cost of software development, has introduced a feature allowing users to factor in the cost of using Large Language Models (LLMs). The tool utilizes the COCOMO model for human labor costs and can incorporate token costs for AI-generated code. Early estimates show a significant cost reduction, with a file estimated at $10,000 for human development dropping to $3.00 when using 100% AI. AI

IMPACT This tool could fundamentally change how software development costs are valued, potentially impacting asset valuation and investment decisions in the future.

RANK_REASON The item describes a new feature for a software tool that impacts cost estimation for AI-generated code.

    I added cost estimates for the code you map with Codestellation. It uses the COCOMO model for humans, and you can mix in (or mark it as 100%) LLMs which mixes the model with token costs. Estimates are estimates, but it's really interesting to see a hand rolled file be around $10,…
