Sorry, which billion-dollar corporation is Fable running "on its own"?
replyFable 7 isn't a thing, 5 is the one people are currently excited about. They're talking about a hypothetical more-advanced future version.
replyThey imagined a "Fable 7" model (i.e. two generations hence) which would be capable of such feats.
replyOf course not. But many tasks won’t require Fable 7 level intelligence and many people won’t want to pay for it. Honestly, I’m using Deepseek v4 Flash a LOT lately to do more mundane tasks because it’s so nearly free and I don’t need Fable or even Opus. Serving those mid-level models at high speeds and low prices is a definite winner for lots of applications. And sure, the frontier models will continue to drive the frontier forward.
replytheoretically theres a no limit on the demand of anything if the price is right
replypretty stupid statement lmao
Certainly there will be demand for Fable7, but that demand is context specific. Frontier labs' profit is dependent on there being sufficient demand for the next layer of capability and whether the premium consumers are willing to pay for that.
replyThe incremental unlock of capability by ever increasing frontier model sizes will eventually reach diminishing returns.
I would argue tnference speed increases would actually unlock a different kind of more meaningful value for a wider audience.
