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.

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.

Is it a larger model or just better trained? Anthropic does not actually claim it is a larger model anywhere that I can see.

If it’s not larger, it’d be tough to justify the massive price increase for using it.

Price 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.

		That 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.

Opus 4.7 was smaller and people still paid 4.6 prices.

gpt-5.5 isn't larger than gpt-5.4 but costs double.
