I mean, they were already capacity constrained and just introduced a larger model that takes more capacity to run... They were gonna have to hand some business to competitor one way or another.
- irthomasthomas 4mo agoIs it a larger model or just better trained? Anthropic does not actually claim it is a larger model anywhere that I can see.
- ChrisLTD 4mo agoIf it’s not larger, it’d be tough to justify the massive price increase for using it.
- BoorishBears 4mo agoOpus 4.7 was smaller and people still paid 4.6 prices. gpt-5.5 isn't larger than gpt-5.4 but costs double.
- brookst 4mo agoPrice is based on perceived value, not cost to produce. There is no international court of price justifications; if customers are willing to pay $X you can charge $X.
- pixl97 4mo agoThat and a model can be the same size, yet use a lot more compute, I guess think of it as intelligence per watt used or something like that.
- brookst 4mo agoExactly. The company should care because it drives margins. But pricing to customers should not change unless it was artificially high (competitors offer more value for same money) due to profitability concerns.
- disgruntledphd2 4mo ago> I mean, they were already capacity constrained and just introduced a larger model that takes more capacity to run I am willing to bet that the SpaceX deal is probably why Fable's launching now, as they are much less compute constrained than they were a month ago.
