@Emily — your AI spend spiked yesterday. The chat assistant is responsible: it's now running the new Fable model instead of Mythos.
+$4,820 ↑ vs. prior day
Driver: model mix moved to Fable — 78% of tokens, up from 0% on Monday.
Source: Anthropic usage · fresh as of 8:55 AM
Emily Torres9:12 AM
Thanks @Terrain. @Ryan — can you confirm we switched the chat assistant to Fable, and what the reasoning was, in light of the spend increase?
Ryan Okafor9:31 AM
Confirmed — we moved to Fable on Friday to test conversion lift on chat. Evals looked strong. I'll share the final results this week. @Terrain -- I just uploaded the eval results for the team to access.
Emily Torres9:34 AM
Thanks. I want to watch this closely. @Terrain — daily update on the chat assistant's AI spend and customer conversion, please. And @Joe — please put a $10,000 cap on Fable usage for marketing as the Anthropic admin until we've tracked outcomes and made a team determination.
TerrainAPP9:34 AM
Daily watch created — chat assistant: Fable spend + customer conversion. First update tomorrow, 9:00 AM. Conversion evidence: connected (HubSpot).
Joe Marsh9:52 AM
Done — $10,000 cap set on Fable in the Anthropic console. @Terrain is watching it.
