Get Fable 5 Quality From Low-Cost AI Models

EventIn person
18:00
Melbourne, Australia
Advanced AI Concepts Global Melbourne

Learn how to turn low-cost AI models into polished, high-quality output by building the right system around them. In this session, we’ll break down how structure, context, examples, rubrics, rewrite passes, and evaluation can dramatically improve model performance without relying on the most expensive model every time. We’ll look at how to design prompts and workflows that guide smaller models toward stronger results: clear output contracts, role-based passes, critique loops, memory/context injection, and model routing. The goal is practical: spend less, get better drafts, and understand when a cheap model is enough versus when a premium model is worth using. This class is for builders, business users, creators, and AI practitioners who want more control over quality, cost, and repeatability. If you’re trying to build better AI workflows instead of just asking better one-off prompts, this session will give you a clear framework to work from.
