What drives faq bot cost
The most bounded question-answering shape: a short question against a fixed knowledge base, with a short answer. Because the knowledge base never changes between calls, cache reads apply to nearly the entire input, and the effective cost per answer falls well below the list rate. A fast-tier model is usually sufficient when the answers are already written.
For Claude Fable 5.1 specifically, that means output tokens cost 5.0x more than input, at $50.00 vs $10.00 per MTok. At this use case’s 1,500/800 token split, output accounts for 73% of the $0.0550 per-call cost.
