The Ramp/EconLab AI Index for August shows Anthropic's flagship capturing 6% of tokens purchased and 11.4% of dollars spent across Anthropic models, at roughly $10 per 1M tokens, about 2x GPT-5.6 Sol. Sol is 25% of OpenAI tokens and 23% of spend, generating roughly 33% more model-attributed spend than Fable 5. The r/ClaudeAI thread asking why (488 upvotes, 255 comments) converged on price-per-task, not capability. The same index shows top-1% firms spending $7,400 per employee on AI against a median firm's $11.95, a ~620x gap.
