Kimi K3 is a 2.8T model that's available at about 1/4-1/3 the cost of Fable from multiple providers on openrouter. The math doesn't seem wildly off.

The raw margins on proprietary model inference are rumored to be quite high though (they have to successfully defray the entire investment into model training and datacenter capacity for inference, which is massive enough). The API cost you're paying for the model includes that raw margin.
