Echo routing system achieves Fable-level performance at 33% of the cost
July 23, 2026
Echo uses a pool of open-weight models like GLM-5.2 and Kimi K2.7 to route tasks to specific models based on difficulty. This multi-model orchestration approach aims to match high-end proprietary performance while reducing total inference expenditure by two-thirds.
