Looks like we are at the end of the frontier-level models at subscription pricing. After this grace period, it will be double the cost at paid-per-token usage. I’m counting on the other models to compete at the subscription level and I need my harness to be agnostic. I need an AI harness that lets me switch LLM models dynamically depending on the task.

OpenRouter put up something about this a few days ago. Check out their Advisor and Subagent docs.

Rather smart way to keep a bunch of subscriptions subscribed.

I still feel a bit salty I got so much less out of the time I thought I was buying. And I stayed up late asking Fable for what giant leaps and potentials and architectural rewrites might benefit various side projects, so I kind of got what I wanted.

But I'll probably keep one of my pro accounts, for just a bit more usage.

I half expected OpenAI to make GPT 5.6 available today, just to tempt people to switch over. Either way, I'm glad Fable is staying accessible, it's been fun.

This is the biggest news of the day.

Will one of these not be flagged / marked dupe?

@dang - if these are automated take downs, can you have one of these float to the top? This news is huge.

I think HN deserves a collective round of applause on this one: almost everyone here predicted this would happen.
