Fable 5's slow adoption suggests corporate willingness to pay for frontier AI has hit a ceiling

Anthropic's Fable 5 is regarded as the most powerful AI model available, yet U.S. companies are hesitant to purchase it. According to Ramp data, Fable 5 accounts for only six percent of total tokens sold by Anthropic. The steep price of the model suggests that corporate spending on AI may have reached a ceiling, particularly if performance improvements do not translate into tangible everyday value. The slow adoption of Fable 5 indicates a reluctance among companies to invest heavily in advanced AI, which could impact the future development of AI models in the market.
