    That’s $20 a month. Not really a huge amount. Compare that with how much is spent on gas that could be saved with an EV, it’s a drop in the bucket

      Yeah, I was gonna say, that’s like a single Netflix subscription for the year these days. That’s not a lot at all.

          Are ‘normal’ people paying for that? I can see coders and those who’s companies are paying for it, but I can’t imagine a lot of individuals are. I use my own LLM at home, and while not as ‘amazing’ as Claude, it get’s 90% of the tinkering I want to do done pretty easily.

            Some software engineers are indeed buying the max 20x subscription (temporary) to get the most out of fable. But fable 5 is after today no longer within the subscription. So no, most people most likely will stop their subscription after this month.

            But often the 100 dollar per month is sufficient already. For some developers also cheaper Pro subscription as well. And recently gpt 5.6 has been released which is almost as good as Fable 5. Yet at the fraction of the costs, and they also keep providing access to gpt 5.6 sol. While Fable like I said is no longer available.

            To answer your question. No ‘normal’ people should never buy these kind of subscriptions. I don’t see any benefit. Maybe if you are into science or engineering… Or some small other niches.
