I finally get Fable 5
Fable 5 Claude ai Anthropic Ai agents Model orchestration Codex Gpt 5.5 Ai cost optimization Claude.md Prompt engineering Ai workflow automation Theo t3gg
Theo explains how to use Fable 5 effectively as an intelligent orchestrator that coordinates cheaper models like Codex and GPT-5.5, rather than treating it as just a smarter Opus. He demonstrates reducing a 5.5-hour agent run from thousands of dollars to ~$150, shares why the reasoning slider should stay below high, details CLAUDE.md and skills changes that improved his workflow, and shows how he shipped a month of backlog in 3 days. Ideal for developers using Anthropic's AI tools who want to optimize costs and productivity.
