What drives product descriptions cost

Catalogue-scale generation: modest output per item, multiplied across thousands of SKUs. Per-call price is small and total spend is set by catalogue size, which makes this a batch API workload almost by definition: descriptions are rarely needed within seconds. Shared brand and formatting context belongs in the cached prefix.

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 500/1,500 token split, output accounts for 94% of the $0.0800 per-call cost.
