Yeah, there's no way I would ever do that. I'm not too worried - it's all hype. The standard MAX subscription will have this level of performance in 2026. I don't believe it's that much different from Opus (I was getting downgraded on one of my sessions and it didn't seem to make a bit of difference). This is all project-based work and not moonshot one-shot prompts, fwiw.
I personally thought we only had Fable until tonight so now I'm blazing through tomorrow. I'm somehow still only at 22% because I was late to the game!
It's ridiculously expensive. At my _previous_ usage in the subscription, I estimated (with Claude) that I would spend more than 20k USD in a month.
It's insane.
