Redditor CathPoaster shared their experience massively running parallel agents using Anthropic's Fable 5: spinning up 27 instances simultaneously and burning through $30,000 in just 6 minutes. Sub-agents could directly invoke Codex CLI, and the setup was monitored across 5 displays.
This showcases the massive financial scale and workflow topology of top-tier models combined with multi-agent orchestration under heavy use, becoming a legendary moment widely shared in the community.
