The passage around this formula
Run that ratio across a stated bracket rather than picking one number and presenting it as fact: . At zero cache reuse, the two models cost the same on input tokens — unsurprising, since the base rate ties. From there, every step toward a higher cache-hit share moves the ratio in exactly one direction: against Astra. There is no cache-hit share above 0% at which Astra’s own published rate produces a cheaper input-token bill than Fable 5.1’s, under the equal-token-count assumption. This is not a sensitivity finding that happens to favor one reading over another; it is the direct, unavoidable consequence of a 4x rate gap combined with identical base pricing, and it holds…
