A model-routing discipline for managing 30+ projects across multiple AI subscriptions

Original: The Fable 5 Allocation Scarcity: How I Run 30 Projects Across 5 AI Models (Without Drowning)

Short summary

A consultant managing 31 concurrent projects describes a routing discipline born from Claude Fable 5's scarce promotional allocation. Fable 5 is reserved for architecture decisions and complex analysis; Opus handles heavy builds, Sonnet is the daily workhorse, Gemini does long-document research, Grok tracks live market signals, and a local Mac cluster runs confidential batch jobs. Claude Code emerged as an agentic harness for autonomous codebase work, proving that where a model runs matters as much as which model you choose.

  • •Developed a model-routing discipline across 5 AI subscriptions to manage 31 concurrent projects
  • •Fable 5 reserved for highest-value tasks; other models tiered by capability and cost
  • •Claude Code enables autonomous codebase work, shifting AI coding from chat to agentic workflow

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
