Anthropic just released this blog outlining how to use their models together to complete certain tasks. For those of you who are using OpenClaw with Claude via the API or Extra Usage; this could be the answer to save on costs while maintaining Opus-level thinking. You let a cheap model do the work, and only call the expensive model when it gets stuck. How it works:
- You treat Sonnet/Haiku like junior employees who handle most tasks independently but can access a senior expert (Opus) at any time
- The executor (Sonnet or Haiku) runs your task from start to finish
- The advisor (Opus) sits in the background. When the executor encounters a hard decision, it asks Opus for guidance. This will trigger a plan, a correction, or a “stop here” signal. The important part is that Opus never does the hands-on work. It only advises. https://preview.redd.it/i7z0e81769ug1.png?width=3840&format=png&auto=webp&s=7bc98e0cc85ec0846313df219f251edb1928b5db submitted by /u/alvivanco1
