Anthropic's Fable 5 struggles as businesses favor cheaper Opus 4.8

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Despite developing highly capable AI models like Fable 5, Anthropic is experiencing a shift in enterprise spending towards its older, more affordable Opus 4.8 model. Data from Ramp indicates that Opus 4.8 accounts for approximately 50% of Anthropic's platform spend, while the newer Fable 5 garners only 11%. This trend suggests that businesses prioritize cost-effectiveness over the absolute best performance for most AI tasks, a challenge amplified by competitive pricing from OpenAI and open-weight models from China.
