flash for plans?! i don't understand why you wouldnt use something far stronger for the most load bearing point of the project

Price obviously

There aren’t many “far stronger” models than Flash 0731 now, it’s only beaten by Claude and OpenAI models at high/max effort, and everything that matches it costs 5x-10x more.

Depending on the language you're writing in and the problem domain, the smaller models can do dramatically better or worse.

I suspect in the future we'll see language-specific small models. "Coding" is still pretty broad as an activity. It'd be nice to be able to load up a model specific to, say, class-based Python and run it on-device.

Harmonic's Aristotle is a sort-of language specific model for Lean, if you want to see the future you described today.

You're doing it backwards.
