There is so much opportunity for purpose built models like this. Ideally a harness should spin up a subagent to offload to targeted models for specific tasks like this. I know this is not a novel idea. Claude code does some of this by handing off the "explore" agent work to haiku. I just love seeing that specialized LLMs are being developed.

  This is no longer necessarily true. As of 2.1.198 [0] (released July 1st): "The built-in Explore agent now inherits the main session’s model (capped at opus) instead of running on haiku"
