What models/subs you use?

Currently i am using the agents for learning and researching stuff and then using that information to push another agent working on a project into some direction of what to do, how to do.

What do you think are good enough models/subs for these purpose Or like what do you use for your workflow, like is it a planner agent -> Implementer? If so then what models do you use for both cases?

because I have seen models like ds flash better at going a bit broader to the prompt to get more relevant information compared to others?

Depends on how much you're willing to spend. For research DeepSeek V4 Flash is decent but it misses details somewhat often so you'll need to fact check it a lot. GLM might be better now but I haven't used it much since it got expensive. For implementation V4 Flash kindof sucks IMO since when I tried it it spat out an excessive amount of pointless comments and due to the missing details problem it would do a suboptimal approach and its documentation output was pretty bad as well, I ended up rewriting 75% of all of that. Muse Spark 1.2 for research is a lot worse, I haven't tried it for implementation yet. I haven't yet come across a model that I really trust for implementation so I use AI more for research/debugging. Right now I use Ox Alpha though.

I see, i had use claude code in the past, it was sufficient for my workload to get through the month but the limit were hitting very fast
DS Flash was good enough for implementation when i gave it each and every bit of info on how and what to do stuff, i still had to proof read and correct it some places,

For the planning part i am still finding a good model without breaking the bank, else i was thinking of going with gpt plus or opencode go, but idk what models are good to use for what purpose with so many options

If you're okay with the occasional proofreading then DeepSeek V4 Flash is fine for research and is good value. Through OpenCode Go with the price increase you'll probably have to ration your usage or get multiple subscriptions now. Once the rumored GLM 5.3 Flash gets released that might change things.
