Using a Haiku subagent to tame Opus 5's verbose outputs
WasdAcid · reddit · 2026-09-22
Tired of Opus 5's verbose responses, the author instructed it to delegate summarization to a Haiku subagent, which immediately produced a clean, concise summary.
No drawbacks observed so far, though the author suspects some nuance may get lost in the two-step summarization and asks whether others have tried this pattern — a practical trick pairing a big model's reasoning with a small model's compression.
