#2The title cost is only if this was raw API usage, but it was included in a subscription, so it's a small subset of the $200 plan:
> I upgraded to the Claude Max $200/month plan (I was previously on $100/month) to increase my Fable allowance for the remaining time until the July 7th Fablepocalypse, when even Claude Max subscribers will have to pay full API cost for the model.
I really wonder if Anthropic will stick with their decision to keep Fable on extra usage credits until they "get more compute", especially in the light of GPT 5.6 very likely coming out next week (it's confirmed to have the exact same pricing as GPT 5.5)

#3The problem I have with this workflow is that the models are still too eager to please. If I ask it to scan a release and note possible issues, it absolutely will find issues. If I keep running the same prompt, it will keep finding issues. I’ve spammed GitHub PR reviews and it just keep finding (or inventing?) new issues. There is never a “Nothing found, good to go!”. I have to keep reminding myself that the model will always give me what I ask for, regardless of the reality/truth.

You get the same result if you pay humans a good sum of money to find issues.

I think this was true with older models, but at least with GPT 5.5 it can genuinely tell you "no issues found" after a few passes of finding real issues.

There is a point of diminishing returns though; the issues suggested will get speculative, or point out comment unclarity, or "defense in depth". But I agree it’s somewhat annoying to rarely get clear pushback in terms of "no, this looks good enough to me, release it"

#7Fun fact: because AI written works don't have copyright (in the EU at least) and the level of prompting many people engage in doesn't suffice to create a copyrightable "work" and software licenses require you to actually be able to grant a license using rights you hold on a work, not only are many AI generated "works" not actually protected by copyright but by selling licenses you're actually in breach of contract law and may end up owing the licensee software you don't have.

You didn’t do it enough. They stop finding bugs eventually. Also, different models can find different bugs (though they do find the same ones, too, which is good and expected). For best results you want to run multi model reviews in loops.
If you had multiple people look at your PRs multiple times on different days results would be very similar.

Definitely not. I've never seen a human trapped in that kind of infinite loop. Humans know that if they don't stop at the end of the day, they don't get to go home to their wife, and if they don't finalize their list of issues, they never get their contract paid out.

And nothing happened and zero people got in trouble over it.
