The author believes that token efficiency and cost will become key metrics for the future of AI.
They compared models, noting that while Fable 5 might be more powerful, it comes at a higher cost. In contrast, GPT-5.6 can accomplish the same tasks at a lower cost through better prompts and a few extra iterations. The conclusion is that OpenAI is pushing towards a direction of being "more powerful, cheaper, and more practical."
