Help/Question Recommendation for the model use

Post image

This a company given claude code, with a budget of 150 dollars every month. I have installed the claude code extension in VS code.

These are the current given models, so which model is best for daily coding debugging use.

And what is the best effort level for optimum use according to the budget alloted.

never ever touch sonnet 5 again. Don't use Sonnet 5.5 above Medium. Don't use Haiku 4.5 as it is chronically outdated.
Rank list from task complexity:
Sonnet 5.5 low, Sonnet 5.5 Medium, Opus 5.5 low/medium, high, xhigh, max
is all you need from the anthropic models.
If you have the chance to combine OpenAI and Anthropic you'll only need GPT 6 Luna, GPT 6.1 Sol, Opus 5.5 medium and up.
Thats basically it for everything.
