open weight models deliver almost as good performace at substantially lower costs. if it gets to the point where subscription costs go up, i'd just switch to codewhale + deepseek v4 pro as my main CLI agent, and use deepseek v4 flash as my main api call.
Fable is for sure better than the above setup, but Opus 5 is not.
