Choosing the wrong model can be 5x more expensive. But how to choose the correct one?
I use Opus to help me plan a full feature. It is the equivalent of a seasoned Sr. Software Engineer who knows how to find gaps in a code base. Knows when to ask questions and drive you in the right direction.
I use Sonnet for simple feature implementations. To write code previously planned by a more expensive model. Sonnet is your mid level engineer who knows how to code but doesn't have architectural expertise.
I use Haiku for classification, labeling, and Yes/No questions. Haiku is just a calculator for nondeterministic values. "Is this picture a car?"
