However, Artificial Analysis measured a 1.7x increase in output token usage, resulting in a net ~20% per-task cost increase despite the cache discount. Why: If you run Claude-based coding agents or long-context workflows, the cache read cut helps repeated-prompt scenarios, but the 70% more output tokens means your actual API bill per task goes up ~20% — re-estimate your budgets before migrating from 5.0 to 5.1, especially for autonomous multi-step agent loops that generate many output tokens. claude anthropic llm-pricing coding-agents model-launch

[AINews] Claude Fable/Mythos 5.1: new SOTA model, 75% cache price cut but 70% more output tokens

Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1, claiming SOTA for coding and knowledge work, with list pricing unchanged at $10/$50/$12.5 per MTok (input/output/cache write) but cache read price cut 75% to $0.25/MTok. However, Artificial Analysis measured a 1.7x increase in output token usage, resulting in a net ~20% per-task cost increase despite the cache discount.

Why: If you run Claude-based coding agents or long-context workflows, the cache read cut helps repeated-prompt scenarios, but the 70% more output tokens means your actual API bill per task goes up ~20% — re-estimate your budgets before migrating from 5.0 to 5.1, especially for autonomous multi-step agent loops that generate many output tokens.
