A common tactic is to used a big brain model like Opus for planning and reviewing, and a cheaper model for execution.

In my experience that tactic works well if the codebase is limited in size, or well maintained and separated. Otherwise I do notice a difference also letting fable do the execution, not just the planning for complex tasks.

Been using DeepSeek Flash 4.0 and 4.1 for some random sideprojects via OC GO, its a great deal and for non-corporate work it's really great!
While it's a common tactic, and I'd vouch for it if you don't really know what you want to code in fact, but if you know what you want to get out of it, I haven't found anything I'd need opus 5.5 for instead of deepseek-flash (flash v4.1 hosted via platform.deepseek.com)
