Fable 5.1 launches on Cola: list price drops 30%, but Max mode costs rise
oran_ge · x · 2026-09-02
Fable 5.1 is now available on the Cola platform. Although the official claim states a 33% price reduction for the same token count compared to Fable 5, real-world testing reveals that in Max mode, Fable 5.1 consumes 1.5x the tokens of Fable 5. This results in higher actual usage costs in Max mode despite the lower list price. Additionally, there are rumors that GPT-6 will be released tomorrow.
