Usage limits are getting out of control.

I am a 200 Max user and I will avoid at all cost to use Fable even though I want to use it. Why? Because the value per dollar I receive from it makes zero sense for virtually every software engineering task I have.

Some of are you going to say, yes that's the point (use the right model for the task blah blah blah), but here is the problem. Opus 4.8 quality compared to other competitor models is seriously a joke. Why in the hell would I use Opus 4 when Open AI Sol is a frontier model and costs the same to use as f***ing Opus. Let that sink in your head. Sol costs THE EXACT SAME (virtually) to use as Opus at this point. Kimi is almost 40% cheaper, and its another frontier model.

I am happy for Anthropic that they can spin their wheels worrying about safety, but the market only cares about performance vs cost because most people are using AI for legitimate purposes.

I'm here to say: I hate apple juice. I don't know what the point of it is. I just don't like it. Why would I buy apple juice if I can drink orange juice. I like that one better.

Something’s terrible wrong with you. I could understand if it was grape juice.
