You could try letting a model decide, but given my experience with at least OpenAI’s “auto” model router, I’d rather not.

I also don't like having to think about it, and if it were free, I would not bother even though keeping up a decent local alternative is a good defensive move regardless.
But let's face it. For most people Opus comes at a significant financial cost per token if used more than very casual, so using it for rather trivial or iterative tasks that nevertheless consume a lot of those is something to avoid.
