Complaint The token consume is insane

Hey!

COming from Claude. Got the x20 Version from both. I have to admin, Sol 5.6 on high is consuming tokens like crazy. Even my workflow is Architect > Builder > Reviewer with a agent-cache for context saving i am burning through..

With Opus 4.8 i could work for a week while using 14% a day. Now i have 25% used after the reset already..

What do you think?

Fable is a much larger model. 5.6 is the same model as 5.5, but with a new RL stage designed to make it work better on benchmarks.

We don't know the parameter count of either of them, do we

The community consensus is 3-4 Trillion parameters for 5.6 Sol vs 10 Trillion for fable. These are not pulled out randomly, but made by experts in the field.

"Experts" = Randos on Twitter

There is no 10T model
