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: pearly dingle berry 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? |

whats the strat? i see people are burning thousands on tokens and it got be worried this is just a bubble. can't imagine 'building' something and halfway thru the rug gets pulled |

|
Date: September 21st, 2026 11:52 PM Author: contagious out-of-control toaster ticket booth 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 |

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