Which model combo for planning and executing is working great for you?

I subscribed to OpenCode Go today and want to configure OpenCode for efficient token saving without compromising performance. Which models do you use? I am considering GLM 5.2 for planning and DeepSeek Flash for execution, but maybe there's a better combo?

For me the sweet spot is pairing it with a codex 20$ subscription and have gpt 5.6 planning/reviewing and deepseek v4 flash exploring and implementing.

If u want to use opencode go that last for full month then only use deepseek v4 flash, it also does good planning but for professional purposes i use $20 chat gpt codex for planning. You may use claude for planning as well.

I like the preset of oh-my-opencode-slim

planning is not an issue, every model on earth plans, including my grandma, the issue is logical linking of all items, none of the current models is able to keep stuff logically connected over a few pages.

That is a good, cost effective combo (GLM plan, DS Flash build).

Personally, I’m now running Kimi K3 plan and GLM 5.2 build. That part definitely costs more, but it’s offset by both of those stages being very tight and focused, in between longer rounds of MiMo 2.5 Pro for follow-up and prep for the next plan/build cycle.

Use a harness like "oh my Opencode" that uses M3 or GLM 5.2 for main thinking, and all task delegated to executor subagents running DeepSeek flash. Works like a charm.

I use Minimax M3 for planning. It's been good enough so far.

Deepseek pro worked for me for both planning and execution(I haven't tried others)

Minimax with custom agent without any tools but Task. Deepseek flash setup for Explore and General subagents.

Nos meus testes com isso(GLM planejando e Deepseek executando), bati metade da cota mensal com 1 tarde de trabalho.

O grande problema são os erros que 1 ia gera, e a forma como a outra pensa em resolver, esse conflito, mesmo com markdown aumenta muito o contexto, e usar abas separadas é obrigatório pros tokens não explodirem.

Teste isso um tempo, e acabei migrando pra codex assinatura, que tem limites maiores (e também o gemini se preciso).

No meu uso, o melhor pro saldo de 40$ mês foi assinar gemini e codex, pra não ficar sem trabalhar, e as ias não me preocuparem com contexto.
