  • Alex FinnRecommended
    Use Claude Opus as the brain for strategic thinking but delegate execution to specialized models like Codex for coding tasks.
  • Claude Opus operates faster with more trial-and-error, excels at role-play and creative solutions, but needs stronger guidance.

  • A Vercel engineer accidentally spent over $60,000 in one month running AI agents on Claude Opus, demonstrating how frontier model costs can spiral without proper usage controls and why prepaid credit systems prevent runaway billing disasters.
