Calling it:
1) Fable 5/Mythos introduced to free tiers with notable improvement in capabilities
2) Other models get lobotomized without clear communication
3.1) People call out Anthropic only to have them say "Oops!"
3) Fable 5 gets comparatively better, but remains accessible through separate, more expensive subscription/tokens.
The current growth is unsustainable. The industry wants consumers to think it is an exponential arms race, but the reality is that we're on a treadmill: we have the illusion of sprinting forward, but only because the ground is moving backward.My employer is all in on Anthropic via Enterprise (API) pricing despite it being a total scam.
Last month I pushed like <100M tokens for $800. On a personal project I pushed 600M tokens via DeepSeek V4 for $10. The pricing of SOTA models is insane but companies are still willing to light money on fire with no hard metrics proving increased productivity.
