No way you can’t get buy with the 200 dollar per month plan, maybe adding some tokens when you run through your weekly quota sometimes but not 4K. You get like 8k worth with the plan.

Date: September 20th, 2026 4:02 PM Author: sooty exciting stead I have $500/month and never come anywhere near blowing that. Granted, that is just Claude. We also have Gemini and Harvey.
I also use Opus instead of the frontier models. Are you just having Fable/Mythos do everything? |

|
Date: September 21st, 2026 11:52 PM Author: Pontificating site ladyboy Yeah but it's terrible at doing work vs Opus 4.6 imo
Key is to use opus 5 or fable to orchestrate 4.6. Or just start the session with 4.6 and do the 1M context window hack |

Date: September 21st, 2026 11:53 PM Author: sooty exciting stead Really? What is your use case? (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5905353&forum_id=2#50148772) |

Fable is good for project and workflow design architecture eg harnessing multiple models and ruminating about the latest open weight models and hardware configs

Date: September 22nd, 2026 1:32 AM Author: sooty exciting stead Why is 4.6 better than 5 for this use case? (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5905353&forum_id=2#50148826) |
