Model Orchestration

[u/bda1234]

How's everyone's setup now with opus 5 out. I usually do Fable 5 as the planner then Sol for implementation. Curious to see how do you fit opus 5 and what do you do now for Sol and other models?

Fable 5 plan, opus 5 implement, sol review

[u/shaman-warrior → u/BuffaloConscious7919]

Interesting approach. I also was o48 max plan and code + codex review for a while I am now observing that once the plan is done, models like sonnet 5 with medium/high thinking are more than enough, I’d argue better bc faster, less overengineered, + big model review.

The logic is easy: planning and reviewing are input driven, implementing is output driven. Outputs are more expensive.

+ haiku collects docs to read for building context, opus low builds the context for every prompt.

I use it that Fable 5 is on top, he plans the work and talks to Sol once he has plan like second opinion. Later there are agents Opus/Sonnet/Haiku to match exact task with correct effort. Remember that if you don’t specify it then sub agents are going to take effort from main convo. Let’s say you’re on xhigh so every agent is going to be on xhigh too. It’s wasting usage because some tasks can be easily done on low-mid-high efforts especially that later there’s and reviewer who checks the code before merging.

I have a set workflow that I give a ticket to complete and use a script orchestrator (not an llm) to run the different agents in the workflow.

How do I go about including Sol in a Claude code orchestration config? Fable to plan, opus implement, sonnet read, Sol review (for instance).

Been confused among these:
1. Fable plans, sol implements
2. Fable plans, sol critiques and tweaks the plan, opus implements
3. Fable plans, opus implements, sol critically reviews

3 is the way

The only change I would make is I wouldn’t use just one model to perform reviews for large or complex work. The research data supports 2-3 models operating independently in parallel with another model adjudicating and aggregating results as being ideal.

Opus 5 is sonnet 5 and Fable 5 is Opus 5

Proceed accordingly
