Well it was nice while it lasted. Built so much stuff for basically free. I can only thank them for that. I guess this means that this powerful model for very cheap concept does not work?
It was insane how much you could get done for a couple of dollars. The good times never last.

It’s all about the cache prices. Those dominate usage, cached tokens are easily >90% if not >95% of all used tokens.
Yes, but I'm not sure. They recently dropped cache prices 10 times. Why would they rudder back after only a few months?
I'm using oh my pi with Kimi K3 as the planner and DeepSeek Flash 0731 as the implementer, with OpenRouter as the provider. Any suggestions for a better configuration? I mostly need Opus 4.6 + Claude Code alternative. I don't need Fable level capabilities, I add one new feature at a time and approve the code before shipping it. Then test and open a PR. Usually both Fable and Opus suggest dumb ideas but are good imple…
Are you using Kimi w/expectation of ZDR? Their EULA is “we use your data and train on it unless you negotiate something with us privately”

Even if DeepSeek is better than the American models, I won't be using it unless there is a flat-rate monthly plan. This is only real way it's useful. If not, the cost outweighs whatever value I might have gotten from it.
I put 10 bucks on DeepSeek almost 3 months ago.
I still have 2 bucks there. I think I used so far something in the vicinity of 300M tokens total.
Even if they double their price it is still cheaper than US models on their flat rate plans, and I don't get locked out for expiring the quota.

I'm curious what kind of prompts people are doing to get 'dumb' ideas out of Fable
It's similar to the situation where you ask whether you should walk or take the car to go refill the car with gas. I feel LLMs have a linearity embedded in them that prevents them from finding non-linear, smart solutions, especially when data is scarce. They can probably get it done, but with far more complex solutions, which increases the risk of ending up with a crazy complex codebase when it could have been much simpler and more elegant.
The other situation is when I spot a problem or a feature change that's needed after experiencing the product, and I ask how to change the codebase, it suggests something, I say "why not this other thing," and then we do the other thing.

not related to your question directly, but noticed you mentioned oh-my-pi, can you share little bit more why you went with oh-my-pi and not install your own set of extensions? (asking because I was just looking at it to enhance my workflow, but feeling it has too many things)
I'm guessing this is almost entirely about the incredibly low cache read prices. Few have come close to them, nothing has a bigger effect on (a typical) session price, and with the price of RAM right now, they have to be the biggest pain point for them right now? A 10x increase in cache read would be a significant increase, yet would still keep them cheaper than every other provider of their model (at least based on…

It's all about trade-offs, do you want a bunch of extensions of varying quality from a bunch of developers, or do you want a bunch of extensions of varying quality from one developer?
