I'm not familiar with model pricing trends, did they clearly state how the new pricing compares? (Note that I'm actually asking a question, and am not arguing)

EDIT: Oh I see, this is the best link for pricing https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing

So the price is double across the board...

>Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are being offered at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens

From their pricing page, Opus 4.8 costs $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens [1].

Token prices have increased, but it's not really the whole story at this point, given some models will use far more tokens to complete a task than others. One of the charts in Anthropic's blog posts shows Fable at 'low' reasoning achieving better results for less money than Opus on 'high'.

As per OpenRouter:

Input Price $10/M tokens

Output Price $50/M tokens

Cache Read $1/M tokens

Cache Write $12.50/M tokens

2x Claude Opus 4.8, same as Claude Opus 4.8 (Fast)

Frankly, not even Opus 4.8 would be enough of an incentive to use at that price range (enterprise-wise; would not even bat an eye as a consumer)
