Totally. But it's worth noting that this is a pretty new thing! I wouldn't have bet on that a year ago, but now I would.

It is still a bet. Is the current model still going to be good enough next year? We have no idea what will change. If the change is minor improvements than current fable on a cheap is cheaper and better than next years sonnet on GPU. However there are plenty of things people want that maybe they will deliver and suddenly I wouldn't touch today's fable when I can run next years sonnet instead.

		Yep, that's why I also described it as a bet :) But I think it's a good bet. I think that in two years, if I can get opus/sonnet 5.5 or the gpt-6 models for much cheaper and faster than whatever the "frontier" is at that point, that this will probably be a great trade for most of my work. I certainly don't know that for sure, that's why it's a bet, but it's what I think right now. I wouldn't quite say that about any of the open weight models at this point. But I'm hopeful that will change in the next generation or two of those models.
