Maybe they could put Fable onto creating a website that doesn't use 80% of the GPU on an Apple M2.

I'm loving the tit for tat cost charts these guys are doing. Just a few days ago it looked like OpenAI ruled the cost pareto frontier. Not even a week later and Anthropic is taking the charts again. See you guys same time next week?

Can't wait for it to get to the point where it's like an internet subscription: unlimited tokens 24/7/365 at a low, fixed monthly price.

It can't be unlimited because you can spawn parallel streams.

Anyway I think if you have a single stream of a cheap model, like GPT 6 Luna, I don't think you can currently exhaust it in a week on a $200 plan. I mean it only puts out so many tokens per second.

Unlimited but account-level throttled tps (more parallel streams means more throttling across all) is OK IMO, as long as it isn't too crazy. The thing that makes subscriptions really suck is having to watch the quotas, because prompt cache maintenance.

Weirdly, the web ui has Sonnet 5.5 as "Most efficient" for "simpler tasks" and 5.0 still labeled the same for "everyday tasks", with Opus 5.5 as "For complex work and everyday tasks".

I'm confused by the charts comparing it to Opus 5.5. It looks like slightly lower accuracy for the same cost along most comparisons. Am I reading that right?

Is it just the benchmarks? Because otherwise it suggests it's twice as chatty as Opus for a comparable output... Which kind of defeats the purpose

Playing around with it for a few minutes, Sonnet 5.5 feels very fast, much quicker than Opus 5.5. Can't tell yet if it's a lot worse but the speed is definitely welcome.

So Sonnet 5.5 on max effort is as expensive as Fable 5.1? Because it uses a ton of tokens for a task.

In xhigh effort it is a lot cheaper and possibly lot less impressive?

Is Opus still 2x usage of Sonnet after this? My Claude Code isn't showing that warning anymore when I look at /model.

It's interesting that in all their benchmarks, they omit Fable numbers and only focus on Opus, Sonnet, and OpenAI models. Maybe Fable is out the door?

Fable is no longer on the price/performance pareto frontier. They will probably release an updated Fable at some point that will be frontier intelligence until the next Opus.

"Their" benchmarks (and not just Anthropic's) look sssooooo suspicious that they would probably manage to rank Sonnet above Fable for some of their tasks which would just be next level non-sense ..

Models are getting more efficient far faster than they are getting more intelligent at the moment. From a marketing angle it's more impressive to focus on that, and fable would look orders of magnitude more expensive for only marginal gain, distracting from what they're trying to show here

cutting edge fable is for them not you and they're not going to share the metrics until they give you access.

Fable 5.5 probably drops soon so it would just be confusing.

The documentation mentions error code "frontier_llm": The request could assist the development of competing AI models.

I'm very curious how do they know what requests could assist competing AI models.
