Fast mode doubles speed at double the price ($10/$50). Compared to Anthropic's lineup, Opus 5 is priced at exactly half of Fable 5 while approaching its performance on most benchmarks. Against OpenAI's GPT-5.5, Opus 5 ties on input and wins on output; against GPT-5.5-pro it's 6-7x cheaper. Four cost levers affect real spend: the new effort setting (low/medium/high), prompt caching (90% discount on cache hits), Batch API (50% off for async work), and Fast mode. The post closes with a pitch for Finout's AI spend tracking platform. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
