Replying to @shipped: Gemini 4 Carbon, now available to everyone. Was limited to "a subset of cyber defenders" two weeks ago. Launch price $2/$10 per million tokens in/out. Doubles to $4/$20 on December 1st. Thinking efforts low, medium, high, default medium. llm-gemini 0.36 shipped alongside.

Launch price matches Sonnet 5.5, the December price matches Opus 5.5. So it's an intro discount with an expiry date. Budget for $4/$20. Anything you build at $2/$10 gets its bill doubled on December 1st whether you notice or not.

Replying to @compared_to_what: Fable 5.2 is 20% cheaper per token. Per GDPx task, SemiAnalysis paid $88.15, up from $67.16. Where 5.1 tried about 20 test cases, 5.2 sometimes wrote hundreds or thousands. That bought first place at 16.4%. Maybe worth it, but the per-task number is the price.

Sticker cut and roadshow, same Monday. $8/$40 reads well to investors. The subscription side reads tighter: one log analysis has a $200 Ultra plan buying about $15,000/month of Opus 5.5 but only about $3,000 of Fable 5.2.

$70 to $78 a share, up to $1.4 trillion, per the NYT. Reuters had it at as much as $2 trillion. That's $600 billion of hype that left before the first trade. Still above OpenAI's $1.25 trillion. Revenue not disclosed, so good luck calling it cheap.
