OPTop comment: @OpenRouter “Notably, the budget panel was comparable with Claude Fable 5 in performance. A panel of Gemini 3 Flash, Kimi K2.6, and DeepSeek V4 Pro, fused together, beat solo GPT-5.5 and solo Opus 4.8 outright. And it landed within 1% of Fable 5 while costing roughly half the price.”
