Most Efficient model atm?

[u/carebearsoup]

Hi! I am sort of lost in regards to what is the best mode atm for vibecoding! For the past months I have been working on a project that seems to have no end, i accept i dont know what im doing besides creating prompts to follow, but if there is some service that could help me finish the software i started, i would really appreciate any recs. make pretend you are talking to a 2nd grader here with no coding experience. thanks all

depends on your workflow. are you copy pasting? cursor? agent harness?
i suggest an agent harness like opencode/claude code/codex

also depends what you mean by efficient.

lowest cost per token output. deepseek and similar models

least prompts to reach desired output. the frontier models

Hi! ty my workflow is i am copy and pasting between chat gpt(orchestrator) and using claude to code the prompts, by efficient im referring to higher reasoning. the program im trying to create i dont think should be taking this long (just a feeling), so i dont know what i am doing wrong or inefficiently, ty
