Money-saving trick: let a cheap model do the work, then ask it to summon a pricier model to review
vista8 · x · 2026-11-14
A practical tip: do the work with a cheaper, more durable model (like opus 5.5), saving the expensive one (fable 5.2) for review. After finishing, tell it: "you can request your own fable 5.2 model to evaluate the plan and see what's missing" — it will spawn an agent that uses the stronger model to double-check the plan, getting premium-model quality control at budget-model cost.
