You’re missing my point. I’m saying anthropic are exaggerating their results.

how are they exaggerating the results? Comparing the cost from that chart for 5 and 5.5 for medium-max effort paints a pretty clear picture:

         mean  median
 model
 5      4.135   4.245
 5.5    3.150   2.640

Again seeing how max is a clear outlier, the median cost saving is ~38%, not that far off from the proclaimed 40%.
