Every Grok release obscures their cache pricing while highlighting their input/output pricing

From their headline comparison:

  Grok: $2/$6 per million
  
  Fable: $10/$50 per million


  What this doesn't say: Grok costs 0.50/M cache read, Fable $0.25/M cache read
Long running agentic workflows are dominated by cache reads.

Just makes Grok sound deceptive, and more importantly, reliant on user's lack of understanding of costs aka predatory (which in turn is more infuriating)
