It’s crazy that Fable 5 and Mythos 5 is still cheaper than what Opus 4.1 was

@naturedotcom Works for both Codex and Claude Code

@thenowhereway @aryanlabde It only worsened it

[Quant Cat @0xQuantCat]

@davidpattersonx Jokes on Fable's 130 IQ, most jobs only need 80

[Quant Cat @0xQuantCat]

@JonhernandezIA What if people learned to govern their token usage instead?

Proper model selection for task delegation + planning = at least 40% cost saved

@matthewmillerai OpenAI just needs a useable mid-frontier that allows more than one weekly task

[Quant Cat @0xQuantCat]

@tunguz I'm pretty sure this has been a thing since the opus family started, and not just on claude models

[Quant Cat @0xQuantCat]

@TimJayas Your method + This below = GOLD

@iruletheworldmo Big if true, but then again, this won't be possible without increasing cost/token. It's probably a 15/60 per mToken

@rishi_raj_jain_ Vibe coders discovering do-while

[Quant Cat @0xQuantCat]

@stevyhacker Is it really that easy?

[Quant Cat @0xQuantCat]

@neural_avb AWS realising they need proper branch management and task delegation

[Quant Cat @0xQuantCat]

As per their docs, it's parsers record token usage while ingesting messages and usage events, so the database already knows the input, output, cache-creation, and cache-read tokens those agents have logged.

I know this reporting is in early phase, but is this reliable or just guesswork based on the above listed logs?

Wouldn't it be better to parse it from ~/.codex/sessions/* and log actual cost?

@heswithme_eth Imagine calling Opus 4.8 slopus

Valid crashout though, they should not bill you for Fable when Opus tokens are basically half the price

[Quant Cat @0xQuantCat]

@CastAsHuman Solid rules

[Quant Cat @0xQuantCat]

@banteg I wouldn't be mad, but then don't bill me fable prices on my opus

[Quant Cat @0xQuantCat]

@Dimillian A good, streamlined and useable tool >>> a demigod model

[Quant Cat @0xQuantCat]

@reach_vb It’s that simple.

Don’t gave to provide a demigod model, just provide a good model people can actually use

[Quant Cat @0xQuantCat]

@GergelyOrosz I don’t think they aim for more premium users going forward.

We’ve been constantly throttled on top premium plans these past months already. It costs less and pays more to provide the government and top companies with premium models than the masses.

Thank you for this!

Memory and persistence is the single biggest source of chaos in the space right now.

After harnesses and loops, the next focus should be on a governance layer that sits on top of existing runtimes and tools, managing memory efficiently.

We won’t be able to “move fast and break things” for any longer because of these absurd costs and usage limits.

We don’t need another runtime or UI. Just a deterministic working-set selection so that persistent memory actually stays reliable, compact and cheap!
