OpenRouter's Fusion Promises Claude Fable-Level AI for Cheap—Right as Fable 5 Goes Dark
OpenRouter has launched an API built around a simple bet: that a panel of cheap AI models, combined the right way, can match a single expensive one. And by “expensive,” they mean Claude Fable 5. The product is called Fusion. It sends a prompt to multiple models in parallel, then uses a judge model and a synthesizer to merge the results into one grounded answer.
