I built my fire truck game again with fable 5.1 instead of opus 5. Same idea as x.com/Raynos/status/… It used two full weekly fable 5.1 rate limits, and it’s ok, a bit better then opus 5 but just not usable at all on a max 20 plan…

I did the 0.1.0 without the gauntlet loop and the 0.2.0 with the gauntlet loop, 0.1.0 did all the hard work ( 12% weekly usage ) and 0.2.0 just did gauntlet loop graphics remaster spin loop ( 25% usage ). It got some results but it seems really token hungry.
