Almost $1,000 of inference in the first 18 hours of Fable. Not bad.

Guess it's almost bedtime for me...

Forgot about my mac mini. That puts me just over $1k of Fable, and another $350 of Opus yesterday lmao

I will probably break $8,000 of tokens on my $200 sub this month 🙃 I will miss the subsidization era when it's over

Was so close to done...

Useful bit of info: 93% of your 5 hour limit is ~25% of your weekly limit

So you get a bit under 4 "5 hour max outs" a week

Welp.

Thank fucking GOD I did this holy shit, next step spun up ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT SUB AGENTS USING FABLE

I broke $100 and was going to hit $200 within the next few minutes, so I cut my losses and made a 2nd account.

@theo How on earth are you maxing a 20x plan?! I’m mostly fine with Max 5x. Just curious on the nature of work. Cheers!

@theo Wouldn't a 10 minutes old account have limits that reads “days” not “hours” left to reset?
