Intuitively, your savings depend heavily on how hard the tasks are in the first place. If you have a base rate where 99% of your tasks can be routed to a cheap model, yeah, you can save a ton by not using Fable for that.

So “1/3 the cost” really depends.

Sometimes expensive models are cheaper on easier tasks because they use fewer tokens, too.

Yeah apparently Opus and Sonnet are like that.

Yep! There are a lot of models like this: https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/capabilities/coding?cos...
