Fable eats tokens like nobody’s business (www.reddit.comhttps) I just found out Fable is back, so obviously I turned it on. I have one session where it would review certain news every 30 minutes.
Built a hook to stop myself from burning Fable quota on grunt work — iffable (open source) (github.com via reddit) If you’re on Max and using Claude Fable 5, you’ve probably noticed the weekly quota runs out fast if you let it handle everything — grep, formatting, boilerplate renames. I built iffable, a Claude Code session hook that only arms when you’…
How's everyone liking the new Sonnet 5? (www.reddit.com via reddit) Lol I didn't even realise it got released. I kept switching to 4.6 thinking claude was giving me Haiku.

(www.reddit.com via reddit) tldr; perpetrator: the default Explore subagent of Claude Code i read the docs when this subagent was introduced, Explore subagent uses Haiku model as default ...but the docs was updated now! as of v2.1.198, Explore inherits the main conve…
How big are Claude models (in Parameter count). Any guesses/estimates? (www.reddit.com via reddit) I am curious if there are any AMA, leaked documents, or estimates on how big past/current Claude models are. Also, are Sonnet/Haiku a quantized variant of more capable models?
v2.1.198 forces Explore agents to inherit main thread’s model (www.reddit.com via reddit) https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/releases/tag/v2.1.198 The built-in Explore agent now inherits the main session's model (capped at opus) instead of running on haiku Can anyone tell me why I’d want this? The point of Explore was to…
built a skill for reducing Fable's token usage (www.reddit.com via reddit) I just used Fable and it eats a lot of tokens in few minutes, i realised that it does all the work itself and hence built a skill which guides it to delegate the work to sonnet/haiku/opus for work which does it for cheaper while using the…
Looping with Cheaper Models. (www.reddit.com via reddit) Haven't tried looping so far as all work has been strictly human-in-the-loop to both save tokens and keep high code quality. Let's say we run a loop with Haiku 4.5.
Claude charged 8 cents on a single "Hi" word!" (www.reddit.com via reddit) Reminder: Don't use Claude Code via pay-as-you-go API for 1-turn test chats. The tool-use system prompt will eat your credits before you even write a line of code.
Caution when using native subagent "Explore" for debugging (www.reddit.com via reddit) Claude Code's native subagent types: the full list, and why Explore being locked to Haiku matters for debugging I went down a rabbit hole figuring out exactly which subagent types Claude Code ships natively, how model selection works for e…
What tasks can you get away with using Haiku in Cowork? Anyone have tips or know a good blog post or YouTube video on token economy? I just started using it and blew through 25% of my $100 plan weekly usage in a day. I'll describe my workflow, tell me if I'm doing anything wrong. (www.reddit.com via reddit) Please advise. I'm currently only running one project seriously.

Using Claude Pro and Local Models? (www.reddit.com via reddit) I currently host a local MCP server with ollama and a qwen3-coder 30b model. I have a Claude pro subscription I'd like to be able to call the qwen3-coder model the same way I call a haiku, and also allow it to be spun up as a sub agent.
All Claude models got nerfed BADLY (www.reddit.comhttps) It got nerfed to a ridiculous extent. Using Opus 4.8 Max now often feels worse than using the old Haiku models.
Claude Code subagents with non-Anthropic models (DeepSeek, OpenRouter, etc.) – has anyone actually made this work? (www.reddit.com via reddit) Hi everyone, I’m a Claude Pro subscriber. For a while now, I’ve been thinking about replacing Claude Code’s native subagents with third-party models.

In ultra code mode Claude runs a task by writing determin…
I ran my Claude Code model router for 13 days. Here are the real numbers. (www.reddit.comhttps) I built a small Claude Code routing layer called Gearbox. The goal is to stop sending everything to expensive models by default.
Naming convention? (www.reddit.com via reddit) So we have Claude Haiku, Sonnet, Opus.... Then Mythos?
How do you decide if this is a Sonnet, Haiku or Opus kind of question / code task? And the effort? (www.reddit.com via reddit) All is in the title - what's the decision process. I guess it's easy if I want to fine tune an email I'll use the cheap one but then this is also a cheap action so it doesn't matter if you pick an expensive model or a cheap one.
I gave Claude two tools with the same inputs. A one-line description sent it to the wrong one, 5 times out of 5. (www.reddit.com via reddit) I spent way too long rewriting my agent loop before I realized the bug was one sentence in a tool description. Here is the test that showed me.

Does anyone else deliberately trigger their Claude usage window early? (www.reddit.com via reddit) I set up a Routine that sends a single “hi” to Haiku every morning at 7am The idea is that Claude’s 5 hr usage window starts when you send a message, so instead of having my reset happen at some random time later in the day, I can force it…
defaulting to opus for everything is a skill issue, not a flex (www.reddit.com via reddit) said it. half the "claude is burning my limit too fast" posts are people running the heaviest model on tasks Haiku would nail.

Built a news tool with Claude I've wanted for a long time (www.reddit.com via reddit) I've always hated when news stories just die and I never hear about them again. I built a site that searches for updates weekly starting from a particular article.
Time block optimization strats? (www.reddit.com via reddit) Still new to Claude, still on the third week of my first paid month with Claude pro. The weekly limit is more than generous but I usually find that my 5 hour window goes in about 2 when I'm really engaged.
The single most costly mistake everyone's burning tokens on (www.reddit.com via reddit) It is not long prompts or uploading big files and it is not even using Opus where Haiku / Sonnet may be enough. It is sending correction messages as new prompts instead of editing the same prompt.
Claude's WebSearch returns title and URL only, WebFetch routes a 100 KB cut through Haiku 3.5 before the main model sees anything, citation capped at 125 chars. Curious how people are writing for that middle layer (www.reddit.comhttps) Been trying to figure out what AI search actually pulls in when a model "reads" a blog post. The naive mental model — main model hits a URL, ingests the article, cites — turns out to be off by a couple of layers, and the layers matter for…
Your subagents inherit your main model by default, so a nested tree on Opus is Opus all the way down (www.reddit.com via reddit) A subagent's model field defaults to inherit. That means it runs on the same model as the main conversation.

after a few weeks I've basically settled into a 3-model split and I'm curious how different everyone else's is (www.reddit.com via reddit) I used to just run Opus on everything because "best model, why not." that was dumb and expensive in terms of hitting limits. where I landed: Opus 4.8 - anything where being wrong is costly.
Pro Tip - Reset your usage limits on your schedule (www.reddit.com via reddit) I've found a way to help with session limits a tad - simply create a Claude Code Routine that runs daily, use Haiku, and just say something like "Hello, just respond with "hello"", 5 hours before you want your usage to reset. So for me, I…

Regain access to Opus 4.5? (www.reddit.com via reddit) Hello! A couple of months ago I was using Claude’s Opus 4.5 model to brainstorm some creative writing, I liked the kind of responses it returned.
Moving away from Opus (www.reddit.com via reddit) For as long as I can recall I’ve always defaulted to the most powerful model. Actually the to be more specific, always defaulted to Opus 4.6.
Hear me out: there are some plusses to Fable's ban (www.reddit.com via reddit) Like many of us I am in Fable-withdrawal, I miss it and Opus just is not the same.

Just shower thoughts (www.reddit.com via reddit) I miss Fable 5, a lot. Just like everyone who had the pleasure of using the model for the brief 3 day period that we all had it available.
Anthropic, when do we get Haiku 4.8?? (www.reddit.com via reddit) We're on Opus 4.8 (and even Fable 5! For one hot second...) Yet still stuck on old Haiku 4.5, even so it's handy for many tasks.
Haiku vs Sonnet vs Opus: Am I Understanding Them Correctly?

(www.reddit.com via reddit) Follow-up to my post yesterday where Fable 5 tried to negotiate an orange away from Opus 4.8 and lost. A bunch of you asked how it would fare against smaller or older models, so I reran it: same rules, same orange, Haiku 4.5 defending.

(www.reddit.com via reddit) Can anyone go back through models and ask it with web search OFF "Do you know what WIFOM is?" and see when it started getting it correct (Wine In Front Of Me)?
