On the Claude side of things I was previously following "strong model directs weak" with Fable directing Opus/Sonnet (its choice per-task). Since Opus 5.5 came out I've just been having Opus direct Opus.

The sub-agent separation is still valuable to keep context clean for the orchestrator, but I just have no reason to use Sonnet as the grunt-work implementer because I'm finding it hard to run out of tokens with Opus 5.5 on a $200 subscription plan. It's really really good at subjective quality of work per token used.

I would probably go that route if I could use other harnesses with claude models, but I don't want to be locked in to claude code, and their API pricing (which you need to use it with other harnesses) is so much higher than subscription.

plenty of harnesses use the claude subscription

Ever since Claude banned this, I haven't found one. Which harnesses have you found that allows using Claude through the subscription plan?

pi.dev has it. https://pi.dev/packages/pi-claude-code-provider is the plugin you need to install and everything goes through claude subscription

I just checked, it has claude available through the API. I asked Claude itself and it said the subscription service is only available through Claude code.

Did you use some kind of plugin? I'd like to use opencode with my Claude subscription.

My work pays for Claude and cursor.

I have actually just dropped to using sonnet for everything, sure it does need some directing but I have yet to see a need to jump to opus.

To me it feels like sonnet/terra and composer 2.5 and grok 4.7 are actually good enough for most tasks and these companies are pushing the high models simply to make money.

Every test I've done with Sonnet or Tera has been more expensive than just using their big brothers, even before 6.0 and 6.1 Sol came out at Tera prices.

They're cheaper per token, but they burn more tokens and take more wall time than just going up a tier at a lower reasoning level. And if the task is simple enough that they do come out cheaper than Sol, I can switch to Luna and come in even cheaper.

Actually not tested that I will give it a go. I usually keep reasoning on low.

Can't wait to just use the hand made Jai and laugh at everything else built with AI :)

You can just use plenty of good handmade languages now, I'm not claiming mine will ever be good or useful to anyone other than myself. I'm using AI so heavily on my project because I want to explore the PL design space without spending years on implementation for things I'll probably want to throw away and rewrite a different way once I actually play around with them properly. And because I lack the motivation to persist through the sheer volume of grunt work that language implementation needs to get to the juicy interesting parts.

If you're not using the Superpowers set of skills, give it a shot. It's been working really well for me on a variety of tasks.

I used Superpowers for awhile, but I don't feel like it gave me significantly better results than just raw-dogging it. It did however burn through my tokens significantly faster.

Maybe I'll come to miss it now that I removed it, but I certainly don't yet.

I am having a similar experience. Try gemini flash at the top level. If you talk to it as well, it's much better in conversation too. Current deepseek is very "unless, but wait" in its thinking and this spills over to it's chat.
