TIL Setting a custom price for a model in AgentsView — I'm a recent convent to [AgentsView](https://www.agentsview.io), 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:
