sorry my comment was a bit rude. what i meant was that if you're not vibe coding and instead doing a lot of the architectural work yourself, the less powerful models can still be quite effective for doing the grunt work.

when i built my own harness i had to use sol 6.1 medium, luna, deepseek, etc made too many mistakes, but i was full-on vibecoding it. in other projects when i put more effort into it, models like luna, deepseek, etc do just fine.
