According to artificialanalysis, cost per task is $0.94, which is almost the same as $1.04 of gpt 5.6 sol max (fable is most expensive by far, at $2.75). Things like glm 5.2 max cost roughly half that. The model certainly sounds extremely impressive for something not from openai/antrophic, but the price makes it a mediocre product.

Instruction following seems lower than I’d like, too. OTOH scores on agentic stuff seem high, which… feels a bit contradictory? I thought decent instruction following is step 1 of solid agentic workflow.

The benchmarks look nothing short of incredible. Assuming it’s not benchmaxxed to hell and back it’s just a notch below gpt 5.6, which came out what, a week ago? If the performance claims hold up the delayed Gemini 3.5 pro will likely end up not only behind fable, but also behind 5.6 and a (supposed) open weights model. Google might have to do some real soul-searching.

so it is ~ same price as openai, same score, but somehow it is mediocre?

edit: not to mention being an open model that you can host yourself

[FrankenApps]

Theres no way you will be able to host it yourself. It’s way too large.

[jqbd]

Not for any you. But there exists a you for which you can host it yourself.

[dash2]

But a smallish firm could?

[dools]

You could host it on Verda clusters for about USD$150/hour
