>Few nights of running Fable (later Opus 5.5) with a 7 strong team of DeepSeek v4.1 Flash 1017 (don't mistake it with 0731 that is crap) and llama was running 10x faster and vllm was running even faster when before it would not work at all.

Just wondering, what harness architecture to you use for this, if you don't mind sharing? Is it a parent session running opus and it writes worker briefs and spawns subagents ond demand? Or something else like the workers having shared context, etc?

I'm currently running this cheap setup where deepseek will be the "main" session but it has to submit proposals to a stronger "oracle/reviewer" model through a custom tool. So deepseek scouts the code and comes up with its own solutions but the oracle on the tool can steer it with it's higher "taste" (omniscience benchmark, low slop benchmark).

I've just started using it and I like the results so far but it's most likely suboptimal so I'm still iterating as usage data piles up.
