I wonder how you would be able to reliably rely on a model like that for agentic work, even for implementation only after careful planning, how are you making sure you are not wasting tokens reviewing and correcting it over and over again ?
Yeah, I have the same question. I'd like to incorporate cheap & fast models like DS into my workflow to reduce my reliance on OpenAI/Anthropic, but after trying several such models and having to have a frontier model review/fix/redo everything multiple times per task, I gave up and simply have the frontier models (Sol/Opus) do everything. All of this fits pretty comfortably in my monthly subscription.
Maybe the equation changes if I exceed my subscription usage, and need to fill the gap with something else. But it seems like a huge waste of your time to go out of your way to use a cheap model if you have the tokens to spare in your subscription.
