What drives blog writing cost
The most output-heavy use case tracked here. A brief of a few hundred tokens produces an article of several thousand, so output pricing is essentially the entire cost and input rate is noise. Generating section by section rather than whole-article gives you more control over both quality and spend, at the cost of more calls.
For Claude Fable 5 specifically, that means output tokens cost 5.0x more than input, at $50.00 vs $10.00 per MTok. At this use case’s 1,000/8,000 token split, output accounts for 98% of the $0.4100 per-call cost.
