Yeah, I checked usage stats and pretty sure quota consumption on Max plan is not linear wrt to usage by API pricing. Fable burns quota faster than 2x Opus with equal token count.

Plus I'm also not super impressed; it somehow managed to implement a 200L custom TCP server for a simple static HTTP mock server for a single test case (all that was needed was a fixed route returning a fixed placeholder string) just yesterday. Never seen anything like that.

The sharp but over eager jr. dev is a very good analogy :)

I asked Opus why it used raw http client instead of api client that is already a dependency and it said: "you're right it's overkill" and proceeded to implement api client on top of raw tcp socket.

Or an eager contractor who bills by the hour with a big unallocated budget.

I've implemented custom TCP servers in less than 200 lines before AI, and recently with AI with cheap models. In C and C++, because I didn't like nginx, caddy or the python servers. I trust mine more then them. Using Fable for such a simple textbook task is heavy overkill. Deepseek V4 Flash Free is enough

Maybe it was trained on some consulting codebases

200L That's crazy considering the volume of a 1U server is what 15 litres or so?
