It pains me to see so, so many dollars going to Anthropic. There is either massive inefficiency in there, or else its users are getting fleeced.
In cost-per-task, it's a 32x multiple Fable vs DS41. Either it really does cost them more electricity/gpu, or else they are succeeding convincing the masses that Anthropic's models are necessary for everyday tasks, when this is truly just not the case. Either way seems a tragedy.
Especially regrettable from my perspective, is the idea that to do computer programming in these modern times, you have to fork over an amount comparable to many people's monthly rent. Even if your employer is happy to direct their funds that way, we lose quite something when recreational coding comes with a substantial personal monetary cost.

- cassianoleal 4d agoAnother happy DS41 user here. When I talk to friends with Claude subscriptions, they're not doing anything more complicated or better than I am, but are paying through their noses.
- prettyblocks 4d agoDo you use a 3rd party provider or use deepseek directly?
- cassianoleal 4d agoDeepSeek. Every now and again I get a notification that I'm running out of credits. That means I've got less than US$5. I usually wait another week or 2 and top up another 10.
