That likely won’t change if other competitors don’t take the lead at some point. If companies are willing to pay top dollar for the best models AND they get to extract as much money from Chinese labs distilling Astra/Fable it makes no sense to lower prices. Obviously not great for everyday users who don’t have unlimited money.

The referenced NYT article says Open Source LLM's market share increased to 58% from yesteryear's 10%.


(58% on OpenRouter)

I believe both things can be true. OAI/Anthropic selling more tokens than ever, and downloadable weight models increasing in market share.

I doubt OpenAI would copy Fables pricing if it wasn’t financially beneficial. They can only burn through VC funding for so long.


I don’t think we have data showing that fable is used significantly
