Claude Opus 5 Price War: The Real Battle Lies in Inference Stack Optimization Efficiency

The most valuable info in this article is that Anthropic's Claude Opus 5 claims performance on par with Fable 5 while pushing inference costs lower. This isn't just a simple "price cut"—it's the result of an entire optimization pipeline working together, from model architecture to the inference engine. As someone who works on low-level compilers, I'm more interested in whether these optimizations can be ported to domestic hardware.
