Teknium: using Fable as orchestrator and Astra as subagents saved a failing refactor
Teknium · x · 2026-09-07
Teknium shares a hands-on agent workflow lesson: Astra kept failing at orchestrating subagents — to the point where it itself suggested using Fable as the orchestrator. Switching to Fable for orchestration with Astra as implementation subagents let the refactor session succeed.
A practical case for splitting orchestrator and worker roles across different models instead of forcing one model to do both.
