Cofounder @BoldMetrics: the AI body data engine. Mad Scientist @VulcanBench: benchmarking models across effort levels on real coding tasks. Not an expert.
If you are using one model, at high effort, to plan, and code, I can tell you that you’re likely spending a lot more than you need to, and moving a lot slower.
Plan with one model, code with two or three different models, some at low effort, others at medium, and use high effort way less, you don’t need it as much as you think.
And pretty much forget extra and max exist.
Seriously.
