I agree with one distinction - coding agent workflows can use defined subagent roles that are pinned to specific models and I have found this very effective. The orchestrator is building all the context to make these assignments - it’s not a dumb router. Using Minimax M3 for exploration and librarian tasks for example is fast and cheap - my $10 plan lasts all month and saves a lot of tokens for my main coding plan.
