Anthropic models cost a magnitude (we are talking 20x plus) more than DeepSeek V4 Flash or z.AI’s GLM 5.3 Flash for the same tokens.
Most workloads don’t need Fable let alone Opus levels of intelligence, and these will refuse to help you when and where you truly need them like with security.

The 5-hour and weekly limits on Pro and Max plans will limit your ability to ship or cause you to overpay putting a cap on your efficiency. Eventually you’ll be forced to use their API rates which are the most expensive.

What most people miss is a Software Factory, a repeatable workflow that yields good enough reliable software you can spec, build, and ship that sizes and break downs the work into workable units.

You shouldn’t be building software but the machinery that does it for you.
