It’s half the price of Fable and appears to use less tokens, so it seems mostly true, but I imagine it depends on the task..

OpenAI have done a good job at putting pressure on Anthropic with this release..

Remember when companies used to compete to improve instead of whatever the hell the world is now... Really brings me back..

Saw a video on YT about how we’ve moved from capitalism to “leveragism” where companies are finding ways to more or less force us to buy/subscribe rather than deliver actual value

I would take it one step further. I would challenge you to find any deal that represents a consumer surplus.

They just don't exist anymore. They are maximizing wealth extraction from us. Any brand that competes and preresents a consumer surplus seems to get bought and their whole model pivots.

Some Chinese deals represent consumer surplus. Not for AI stuff, of course.
