Kilo Code DESTROYS Fable 5?
from AI News Today | Julian Goldie Podcast · host Julian Goldie
How to Get Fable 5-Level Intelligence Without Fable 5: Plan With a Frontier Model, Build CheapThe episode explains how to approximate “Fable 5-level” results despite Fable 5 being taken down by using a two-phase workflow: have a frontier model create a highly pinned, decision-complete plan, then switch to a cheaper (or even free) model to build from that plan, with optional review agents for security and logic. Citing a Kilo case study, it claims identical services can be produced when different models implement the same pinned plan, with major token and cost reductions—planning with Claude Fable 5 and implementing with GPT 5.5 reportedly cut costs by 59% while still passing 15 acceptance checks. The script also notes routing plans across models if one is removed, reusing plans as assets, and mentions Fusion as another multi-model approach, plus resources available inside the AI Profit Boardroom.00:00 Fable 5 Is Down00:47 Kilo Planning Case Study01:31 Costs And Token Savings02:53 Pinned Plans Explained03:31 Plan Build Review Pipeline04:40 How To Run It In Kilo06:35 Free And Cheap Builder Models07:34 Fusion Multi Model Alternative08:06 Boardroom And Closing
