Mythos is here, it’s time to start tokenmaxxing
TL;DR
The subsidy is wild: Theo claims Claude Code's Pro and Max tiers can amount to about $8,000 per month of inference for $200, and he personally logged $4,358 on one laptop plus $1,112 on a Mac Mini in 10 days.
Mythos/Fable is temporary on subscriptions: Fable is available on Claude Code Pro and Max only until June 22, after which it leaves those plans because it appears too expensive and compute-heavy to keep subsidized.
You can burn a 5-hour window shockingly fast: A single orchestration workflow reviewing three Lakebed PRs hit 1.8 million tokens and 42% of a fresh usage window in under 30 minutes by spinning up parallel sub-agents.
Account switching is a real tactic: Theo dual-wields two $200 Claude Code accounts, starts timers early with a throwaway prompt, and uses
/loginmid-session so ongoing workflows route to a different account before rate limits kill them.The best use isn't cheap code generation, it's management at scale: His most practical workflow has Mythos rank open PRs across repos like T3 Code so he can quickly spot easy merges and high-value work, which surfaced a month-old Magnus PR that got merged within five minutes.
Remote agents change behavior as much as model quality does: Running Codex, Claude Code, and Hermes Agent on a Mac Mini via SSH, Tailscale, Discord, and T3 Code remote lets him launch long jobs from his phone, close the laptop, and stop living in "one more prompt" mode.
The Breakdown
Theo says Anthropic's $200 Claude Code plans can subsidize roughly $8,000 a month of inference, and he has already burned more than $5,400 across two machines while stress-testing Mythos/Fable before it disappears from Pro and Max on June 23. His case for "tokenmaxxing" is simple: use this short window to run absurdly ambitious agent workflows, learn what orchestration can actually do, and redesign your workflow around parallel AI labor.

Cheap Models, Hard Tasks
Most agent workflows route every step to the frontier model by default. The bill scales with how chatty the agent gets, even when most steps don't need that brain.
