Use Cheaper Models with Claude

Claude Code is an excellent agentic framework — tool use, file editing, multi-step reasoning. And intelligence just dont lie in mode by the agentic framework which uses it.

But very quickly the Claude can get out of credits if you just run it overnight to scrap, or run it in loop to research.

FCC (free-claude-code) can be helpful to delegate the LLM calls, but still keep orchestration to Claude

Soon, cheaper models will be called junior developers.

no because they dont have the same level of responsibility, care, or ability to learn. They do not fulfill the need of a beginner in the field, though they can output code. I'd argue that a junior is more than that

Maybe I didn't express myself very well, but I meant that the juniors will return.

This is also what I'm expecting. The change to usage-based billing may significantly change how much it costs to build apps.
