It’s confusing indeed, but I like having many options, particularly considering that pricing can be wildly different depending on the model.

Maybe OpenAI can offer an "auto" mode for Codex on the subscriptions, while leaving the possibility of users manually overriding whatever model the router chooses. To me that would be the best of both worlds. The problem is building a competent model router.

It’s a hard problem because among so many other things…switching models mid session because “shit got real” (or shit is now just executional) costs cache.
