The $20 Claude Pro power setup: Opus 5.5 as orchestrator, cheap models do the grunt work
dotey · x · 2026-10-17
dotey builds on a viral workflow: use Opus 5.5 (via $20 Claude Pro) only for planning, task decomposition, parallel orchestration, cross-validation and final decisions, while delegating deterministic grunt work to cheap Chinese/local models; he adds Fable as an advisor to Opus and notes GPT 6.1 Sol is decent for chores. Claude Max 20x recommended if budget allows.
