Congrats on the launch. The price move matters more than the benchmark bump - halving the cost of the top tier is what decides whether long-running agents stay a demo or actually go to production. Nice work to the team.

My opinion about Claude 5 vs 4.8 is kinda mixed. Too soon for some solid opinion but I haven't noticed "wow" yet.

Love it! I now prefer Opus 5 over Fable 5. I’m working with a smarter model that is more accurate and detailed, while using fewer tokens!
