The Fable of Fable

The story of the world's most expensive AI model and the open models that are going to eat its lunch

The story of Claude Fable 5 — the world's most expensive AI model — and the open models that are about to eat its lunch. Large parts were written in collaboration with the very model the book criticizes; that is part of the point.

Six parts and 28 chapters: from the launch hype and the export-control saga, through the price per benchmark point, to DeepSeek, Qwen, Mistral, and Europe's chance. All prices, benchmarks, and market shares are sourced.

  • The arithmetic: what intelligence actually costs, and the price per benchmark point
  • The advance of the open models — DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM, and MiniMax
  • From 70 to 30 percent in one year — why open models win the traffic
  • Europe's chance: Mistral, the EU-first movement, and the AI Act as burden or moat
  • Ten claims for the next two years and scenarios for 2030
