alt Hacker NewsThere are always uses for outdated models.
Claude Code is still using haiku 4.5 from ages ago for explore subagents for instance. Not to mention production uses like customer service that only need to be "good enough"

Customer service has really degraded huh. 4 years ago they expected opus performance out of human call center agents
I guess losing some customers due to poor customer service is ok if the price of customer service is right.
Just looked this up, no longer true. Explore subagents inherit whatever model the parent is. And you can of course make other subagent configs.
