Your coding agent can build anything except the app you use it in
So I made Seed
It starts as one chat. Ask for a feature and it builds it into itself.
Works with your Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or OpenCode login
and it's open source 👀
bilals article is very valid about the price shock, and @theo's video today basically confirmed the math:
maxing out fable drops your $200 ultra sub multiplier from 73x on opus down to 15x. that’s why bilal burned 1.5 subs in 5 hours.
but the reason people are burning through limits isnt fable 5.2 itself. it's how we configure our subagents.
we are caught between two extremes right now:
1. the opus overuse trap: we got so used to opus 5.5 being cracked that we use it for literally everything. using a frontier flagship model for basic stuff is just burning cash.
2. the haiku stigma: people think haiku and sonnet are "too dumb" because they tried to make them architect entire projects and they produced subpar output.
what i noticed using fable 5.2 as a captain in @capydotai and as an orchestrator T3 Code:
> it doesn't give haiku architectural tasks. it delegates tightly bounded chores where haiku is instant and virtually free.
> but it has the meta reasoning to know when a task is actually dangerous. the second it hits a complex multi file bug, it escalates and spins up an opus subagent to do the heavy lifting.
theo called opus the "burly bodybuilder" and fable the "clever orchestrator."
you don't need to skip fable 5.2 to save usage. you just have to stop treating every single subagent like it needs to be opus.
let fable manage the tier hierarchy properly and your subs might actually survive, at least it has for me. go read the article and watch theo's vid.
@Tyfoods4Thought@_aashish_singh_@theo well the point was to see what fable could one shot on its own, i see what you mean, but like you said it applies to software engineering not really just making a one off vid
yeah, I understand what you mean but it was mostly doing a comparison between using the desktop apps and it’s not like you’re going to use T3 Code desktop app alongside the Codex desktop app or claude. And anyways, it was fable that chose the competitors for T3 Code. It wasn’t me.
for those who are saying some of these are harnesses you are correct but its still a fair comparison because im comparing the GUIs and anyways its not like you are using t3 code alongside claude desktop or codex desktop, you specifically choose t3 code on top of them.
Also, I did not really tell fable about the competitors. I just told it I just gave it a prompt and I just told it “T3 Code competitors”
holy shit so qwen 4 max might actually be pretty good, few things:
> qwen included logos for all products while fable didnt (pretty interesting attention to detail)
> i like fable's visuals better especially with each competitor being slashed out one at a time, but the "pixels" on the land look way better in qwen's version
> fable decided to do the entire thing in pure JS while qwen decided to use hyperframes (anthropic models really dont use things like remotion or hyperframes unless you explicitly tell them to)
> overall extremely impressive showing by qwen 4 max, feels like a serious contender
which one looks better to you? and what model should i try next?
