Using today's model prices as a rebuttal is a very weak argument.

Two years ago, SOTA was gpt-o1, and it was much more expensive than Fable. Now, for $4,699, you can easily run a much smarter Qwen3.6-35B locally with DGX Spark.

Think about where we are. This is an era where a new SOTA arrives every two months. It took LLMs only about 18 months to go from chain-of-thought reasoning to disproving the unit-distance conjecture. chatGPT itself is only three and a half years old.

DeepSeek V4, released two months ago, is almost as cheap as the electricity costed, has the ability to being absolutely a top-tier model in 2025 standards.
