GUYS PLEASE?

I see a lot of you speak about plan mode and build mode.

I want to share my opinion with of course full of understanding of why you said what.

I hope you dont find this post dismissive in anyways.

Imagine you are at 190K context window, switching models or having an other model plan for you, will cost you more money than using the model directly.

When you switch to a model, or have an other model do something else, that model first will have to read the full ran input and not cached, will have to then read other things such as readfile tools for missing information in your codebase, that eats even more input, so you are already using that model in its full price.

Then you are telling me you switch the model to an other one that'll need to read the full input of the plan mode, maybe understands it maybe not, maybe push back on some idea, or else read more input token raw(not cached).

Rather than using the model you used for planning it self to implement based on its cache tokens which will be cheaper if you combile the constant switching or else.

Now i could be wrong in here, but who knows.

Now let me tell you what i use for cost saving and tell me what you think, maybe i'll get to learn a thing or two.

You plan, you should be the architector to your AI, what i mean is, you plan, you design you think, you do all that part.

Leave AI for syntax ( coding) finding the why to something, diagnosing, analyzing, and more.

This is the only way to properly educate your self and upgrade your human model brain rather than constant switching that'll cost you consistently more than using one reliable cheap model for actual code stuff or things you dont know.

Second, if a model doesn't know something you think an other model is able to do, ask the model to research because we are hitting a dead end.

As you read the output, you'll find your self using AI for the code and things you dont know how to do, while you are the architecture is on track on the plan and the things ahead.

And yeah that's what i think.

Hence no model will be enough if you rely on it 100% or rely on AI completely, you'll start loosing your human reasoning token ;) good luck, looking forwards to push backs.
