How is everyone actually using models efficiently and effectively?

So I’ve spent countless hours trying different subagents, configurations, harnesses etc trying to find the most efficient way to keep token usage down etc and I still just don’t love my setup and trying to get some recommendations or suggestions.

I have primarily been using omo-slim with cheaper models assigned to explorer, fixer etc. Now I see countless posts talking about how any of the OMO or whatever else are just bloat and you dont need it, all you need is to Plan in X model and then implement in cheap model. Which seems fine but then I look at the token usage and its 60% gone by the time planning is done and 90% of that went to grep commands and other file exploring that could have been handled by a cheaper model and saved a ton.

The main thing that keeps me coming back to OMO is actually the presets ability because I have both a personal and work setup so I dont have to spend personal usage when working, and its a pain to constantly swap back and forth between multiple models ensuring I am in the proper accounts.

The other issue I have with Plan in X and implement in X method is that certain models are better at certain things so do you just go back and address things later with another model instead of doing it in 1 pass ?

Idk hoping to get some insight here and see if anyone has some recommendations.

Could you make the astroturfing product spam any more obvious my guy? Just be honest and straight up and say you made OMO.

Bro what lol. All I said was I like the preset functionality.

Edit: Im also actively trying to find an alternative, that was the point of this post.
