Love this. I've found ways to use 4+ models concurrently, each with its own unique specialty:
o3 is excellent for precise, drop-in replacement fixes.
Clause Opus is great at expanding the "what-if" scenarios for a project but tends to generate bloated or unmanageable codebases.
Sonnet is strong in general problem-solving and structure.
Gemini has been hit or miss — at times, its performance matches o3, but it often seems throttled, suddenly degrading to behave more like 4o, no actual proof of this.

This is one of my next learning goals: getting a better feel for which models to use when. "100% claude 4 Sonnet" worked pretty well, but I want to keep pushing myself out of local maxima.

For sure, I haven't found one size fits all and they each have their own unique ability.
