How do you mean? I'm quoting the API list prices for Fable, at it's $10/million input and $50/million output (and $1/million for cache hits on input).

How do you mean?
I'm quoting the API list prices for Fable, at it's $10/million input and $50/million output (and $1/million for cache hits on input).

- simonw 5mo agoI'm afraid I don't understand the question. Anthropic have prices they charge for their models. These prices are what you pay if you use the API, and they are also what you pay if you are an "enterprise" customer - generally any company with 150+ employees. I haven't seen Anthropic raise the prices of an existing model after it has launched. They sometimes raise prices when they ship a model - Fable is $10/$50 where Opus 4.8 is $5/$25. They also have monthly subscriptions for individuals, which are a notoriously good deal. THOSE are definitely less trustworthy and predictable than the API list prices, since the subscription allowed quotas can and have changed in the past. What am I missing here?

- simonw 5mo agoAnthropic's enterprise pricing has been thoroughly covered over the last few weeks. I've talked to plenty of people who are paying those prices. You can chose to trust me or not based on my track record. From your posting history it looks like you have a whole lot more relevant experience with enterprise software deals than I do. Have you learned anything interesting about how Anthropic pricing works?

- simonw 5mo agoWhich claim are you talking about here?
- Ucalegon 5mo ago[flagged]
- simonw 5mo agoI have genuinely no idea what you are talking about at this point. I said that my session would cost $12.11 at standard Anthropic prices, based on using AgentsView to calculate cost against tokens used. I further asserted that Anthropic charge enterprise customers those rates. You kicked off a lengthy thread which I tried to follow but eventually lost track of the point you were making and/or the questions you were asking. And now you're talking about bias and I don't know where that came from either.
- solenoid0937 5mo agoWhat a bizarre comment. simonw is well known and widely respected.

- solenoid0937 5mo agoYou're being bizarrely conspiratorial and litigious. Simonw explained very clearly how pricing works, and you can learn this for yourself as well.
- Ucalegon 5mo ago[dead]
- solenoid0937 5mo agoThere is a pricing model everyone has access to, it's the API pricing model, and it's what simonw quoted. How hard is that to understand?
- Ucalegon 5mo agoThat is not how enterprise pricing works. Not everything gets the same API model, because not everyone has the same unit economics. But lets make the sane underlying assumptions, does your business work?
- ragchronos 5mo agoSo this is kind of related, which the other commenter be might be getting at. This might be obvious, but could even these API prices just be running at a loss for Anthropic themselves?
