Claude is my main tool. I delegate all the difficult tasks to him.
What gets me is the small stuff. I'll be halfway through a heavy conversation and some throwaway question comes up, the kind literally any model could handle. So now I'm stuck: ask the capable model and feel a bit wasteful, or open another tab with a lighter one and lose the whole thread I was building. I do the second more than I'd like to admit.
What I actually want is one place to pick whatever model makes sense for the moment, Haiku for quick stuff, Sonnet or Opus for the hard things, maybe GPT-4o or Gemini if I feel like it, all in the same chat. No new conversations, no tab-hopping. Bonus points if it just routes automatically based on the question.
Half-tempted to build it myself at this point. But figured I'd ask first: does something like this already exist and I just missed it? How do you deal with it? Stick with one model and push through, bounce between tabs like me, or did you find something that actually works?
