Anthropic's fix for Fable 5's high cost is turning it into a manager that delegates to Sonnet 5

Anthropic has recommended using Claude Fable 5 primarily as a manager for smaller models rather than deploying it for every task. This approach combines Fable 5 with Sonnet 5 in an "Advisor" pattern, achieving 92% of Fable 5's performance at only 63% of the cost. This shift in strategy addresses the high costs associated with Fable 5, potentially influencing deployment strategies in the AI market.
