Summary

The discussion is nascent, with no comments yet, but the original post introduces Echo, a system that pools open-weight models (e.g., GLM-5.2, Kimi K2.7) to achieve Fable-level results at one-third the cost by dynamically selecting and combining model outputs per task. The community has not yet weighed in, but the premise suggests potential interest in cost-efficient multi-model orchestration.
