I used my entire usage limit for BOTH Codex and Claude Code (2 accounts) to tackle a local build, and the problem was never solved even though I used Fable 5.1 for intensive planning, parallel-agent supervision, and evals. I then went to
@DeepInfra and got an API key for DeepSeek V4.1-Flash (US-hosted), and it is now CRUSHING this massive task Both Fable 5.1 & Astra could not. 50% of the way through & I only spent $1.15 so far.
This is why all of a sudden the AI Cartel is sounding the alarm about AI safety. It's not about safety, it's about caping the competition. The numbers speak louder than perceived good will of the Effective Altruism mafia.
