Lab Book 2026-07-19: Is the Antrhopic Increassed Token Deal Related to Fan Experiments?

 Working with Fable last week, I noticed that it can get very excited about fanning out tasks, (to the point of crashing my WSL session.) I experimented with prompting agents to split out tasks on their own, but haven't found a successful to do this yet. Consequnetly, I reverted back to my original prompt which does not explicitly call for task splits. Then, this morning, running on Sonnet 4.6, another task storm sprung up. I wonder if the new 50% higher token limit till August is Anthropics way of buying themselves some head  room while they experiment with models creating subagents? 

Are other  people seeing the same thing?



It's particularly worrisome that Sonnet 4.6 has started a subagent storm becuase it really doesn't ahve the context to deal with the results.
