Pairing Opus 5.5 as orchestrator with cheaper models: a Reddit workflow discussion
Forsaken-Parsley798 · reddit · 2026-10-09
A Reddit user describes a multi-model workflow: Claude Opus 5.5 as master orchestrator with Astra Max doing the work. The setup was motivated by OpenAI downgrading 20x accounts to 10x plus credit compensation. Pairing Astra with GLM failed due to too many errors, and the user is considering Opus with DeepSeek to maximize usage on a big project.
