1/ Claude Fable drains subscription quotas and is too expensive at API cost (our team has spent over $2k in a single day).
We’ve found that cheaper models + adversarial review loops achieve similar (sometimes better) results at significantly lower cost.
2/ Cline, Claude, Codex allow you to create a loop with the “/goal” command to force the agent to continue working until some criteria is met.
Using this approach with the adversarial review technique forces the model to check its work until it’s verified to work without issues.
3/ Try it in Cline with:
npm i -g cline
cline plugin install goal
Or available on VS Code and JetBrains as well!
we hear you!
