Ask HN: Which one do you use for planning and coding between sonnet and Opus? 3 points by neverenderr 1mo ago ↗ HN I use Claude Opus for planning at high effort and Claude Sonnet 5 for coding at max effort.
[–] igor_nast 1mo ago ↗ Opus - planning/review + gpt spark med - implementation. Works better at lower cost.
[–] runjake 1mo ago ↗ Sonnet 5 Medium and GPT 5.5 Medium for coding.I drop down to a Mini model for file-based tasks.Codex keeps trying to revert me back to 5.6 but 5.6 seems to use too many tokens to do the same or slightly inferior job.I am only on multiple $20 plans.
