You need to supervise the model anyway, because you want that code to be long-term maintainable and defect free, and AI is nowhere near strong enough to guarantee that anytime soon. Using the latest Opus for literally everything is just a huge waste of effort.
- dandaka 6mo agoWaste of effort... of Opus? If "Opus effort" is cheaper, than dev hours managing yourself more dumb/effective model, what is the point?
- cyanydeez 6mo agorich people dont concern themselves with the cost of tokens.
- dnnddidiej 6mo agoIt is not even rich. If you earn more than $30k it is worth your employer spending $3k on AI tools.
- solenoid0937 6mo agoHN is very stingy for some reason, most people here make well over $150k and yet they are still worrying about $200/mo over $10/mo when the former will save more time.
- senordevnyc 6mo agoYes, but I find supervision much easier and faster with a strong model. It makes fewer dumb mistakes that I have to catch and correct, and it’ll follow my instructions more reliably.
- jatins 6mo agoDepends on the task. If it's something that occurs a lot in training data like React/tailwind code then I don't think you need SOTA. Most reasoning models since Sonnet 3.5, Deepseek 3.1 et al will do fine for those tasks. Doesn't justify 10x the cost in that case imo
