    > We use them because we want the best model available. We want GPT-6 Astra, Claude Fable 5.1, and Opus 5.5. They're really good models and open-source models are not even close.

    I want the best model, but I can't afford the best model.

    Cheaper models happen to be good enough, and I can afford them.

    Even after reading the post, I'm confused what the author is missing. There are graphs competing cost, but is the author just rich enough that they can afford the top models all the time?

      And within what I can afford or what I want to spend, I think it’s useful to use different models for different tasks.

      So I want a harness that I can use with multiple models.
