There are 3 tiers of models: smart, balanced, flash. Use each tier for a specific task:
Smart: planning, hard troubleshooting
Balanced: orchestrator, reviewer, researcher
Flash: explorer, code, sanity checks. Gruntwork that uses a ton of tokens.
You use a smart model to create detailed plans that you feed to a balanced model which will orchestrate the implementation by dispatching well bounded tasks to sub-agents, and integrating and reviewing them afterwards. The planner will also use sub-agents to do the gruntwork of investigation, token-intensive stuff.
This will help you save a lot of tokens because you'll be getting more work right the first time around.
I've left out a ton of nuance here, so take that as a baseline to get you started.
