Original Reddit post

I run several websites built with Claude, and I do experiments with different languages, etc. My daily driver is Opus Medium (occasionally high), but I wonder if it’s worth using Sonnet High (5.5) for some casual tasks, and if it’s cheaper and delivers the same results. Do you think it can do the QA instead of Opus (i know, inverse thinking), or get used as a sub-agent to do what is being given by Opus High. My idea is to be as lean as possible without being reckless. I recently downgraded Max 5 to Pro, as I think, I waste too many tokens. Can you give me some tips where to use in a content writing (SEO) pipeline, where I have to do - design, code implementation (like custom blocks), research, language QA, and fact-checking. Should I just use one Opus Medium agent to do it all (it will use a lot of cached tokens), or maybe use Opus High + some subagents Sonnet to do smaller tasks. I also tried to fit Haiku 5.5 in somewhere, but honestly, it feels VERY dumb and not trustworthy at all, even at a high effort level. submitted by /u/SquadGuy33
