A Division of Labor for AI Coding Models
eyishazyer · x · 2026-07-20
This reply outlines a practical division of labor for current workflows:
- Real-time research: Grok 4.5
- Planning and orchestration: Fable 5
- Routine coding/debugging: Grok 4.5
- Writing and running tests: Grok 4.5
- Complex coding/debugging: GPT-5.6 Sol
- Frontend: Fable 5
The author makes it clear that different models suit different stages, and they have rigidly assigned them by task type. Though brief, it offers highly practical insights into structuring AI coding workflows.
