TIL Setting a custom price for a model in AgentsView — I'm a recent convent to AgentsView, Wes McKinney's (previously of Pandas fame) Python toolkit for analyzing transcripts of coding agents from your own computer.

I've been really enjoying AgentsView by Wes McKinney as a tool for exploring my token usage across different coding agents running on my laptop.

Claude Fable 5 came out today and wasn't yet included in the pricing database AgentsView uses. I used Fable to reverse-engineer AgentsView and figured out this recipe for setting custom prices.

Here's my Claude Fable 5 usage for today so far, plotted by AgentsView as a treemap across my different local projects:
