An approach that works really well for me in opencode is to use DeepSeek flash for the code exploration sub agent, and a smarter model for the overall task.

Code exploration tends to burn a ton of tokens and do not require frontier knowledge. It then returns a compact overview of the findings to the better model, that can therefore perform its task with less tokens.

Anyone else has a similar approach?

The solution that I am working on is designed to leverage cheap LLMs (think MiMo, GLM, etc.) to build cheap context to reduce tokens, but most importantly to keep the context clean.

The README and latest version is still being worked on but I am hoping to have the latest release in place soon.
