We checked every price, benchmark, and fine-print clause across seven models. The best one comes with a catch its own documentation admits.
Nobody got a breather this year. Google shipped Gemini 3.1 Pro in February. OpenAI released GPT 5.5 in April, six weeks after its previous model, and doubled the price along the way. Then, last Tuesday, Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, the first of a new top tier it calls “Mythos-class,” at double the price of its own previous best.
For years, the deal was simple: every new model got smarter and cheaper. Except that the smarter part still holds, but the cheaper part quietly died in 2026.
