Use a harness like OMP that lets you choose which model does which things. My main model is GLM 5.2, it handles planning and anything I dont have covered by other models. Tasks from todos and in sub agents are done by deepseek, I have different models for the git work like add/commit/push (that goes through cheap Minimax M3), and so on...

This way the expensive/strong model only handles the architecture and orchestration tasks. The cheaper models handle everything else and the strong one knows how to tell them what to do in enough detail to get good work out of them.

I've done a little bit in this space to try and see what works, and maybe it is different per language/framework but found the use case seems best for largely mechanical code changes, eg small direction, lots of simple changes. This sounds good until you realize that IDEs generally have built in functionality to do these tasks waaay faster, cheaper and more accurately.
